Dormant Spray Guide
Dormant Spray Guide
When trees and shrubs lose their leaves in winter, it provides a
significant head start in the battle against insects and disease that appear
during the growing season. Without the cover of leaves, pests including mites, aphids, insect eggs and scale are exposed and easy to destroy.
Potential diseases are reduced or prevented by spraying in winter, including fire blight, shot hole, peach leaf curl and powdery mildew. Properly timed dormant spraying will prevent and kill more insects and diseases than most other sprays during the year.
