2022 Peach Evaluations

I actually have had some good results with Captan 80, but I’m including it as a routine with early insecticide sprays. It’s very good for scab on peaches, but also helps a lot on rot. Your mileage may vary.

It’s reasonably cheap, so adding it to a spray for stink bug isn’t a big cost. It has virtually no risk of fungal resistance.

It does require an acidifier in the spray solution, otherwise it becomes an insert fungicide very quickly.

Captan 80 has worked for me, but I believe east coast rot is a little more intense than the rest of the country. I still get a fair amount of loss to rot. Hoping to improve on that.
