Fruit trees around the house are damaged by a large number of different insects and diseases. You can control or prevent this damage by well-timed sprays applied properly to the trees.
SPRAY MATERIALS – General purpose spray mixtures are available at your local supply store. These usually contain insecticides to control both insects and mites and fungicides to control a wide range of diseases. Ordinarily, general purpose sprays contain three to four different materials, and the dosage depends upon the percentage of each material present in the mixture. Follow the directions on the package for dosage. These sprays are designed to take care of only the average condition. Additional materials may be needed to control special conditions.
