What’s your spray schedule like for stone fruit? Chemicals that is.

I have a guide here,

Low-Impact Spray Schedule (2019 Edition)

Here is my “low impact” spray schedule, updated from this old version - Low Impact Spray Schedule (old version). This has been refined over about 15 years of successes and failures. My rough guide for low impact is no wide-spectrum poisons, which also means no PyGanic or rotenone. Spinosad is about as broad a poison that I use. I don’t personally draw the line at organic vs not, but this schedule is mostly organic and I will suggest some substitutions if you want to be 100% organic. My goal …

which has some generic information but is a bit out of date on what I do now. I now use Indar in nearly every tank plus one of Elevate, Luna Sensation, or Merivon. This is through early June, I usually don’t need to spray after that. I am using Surround (and other stuff, see schedule above) for bugs and it requires a lot of sprays so “every tank” means every 1-2 weeks from petal fall. For dormant spray I do delayed dormant only, at pink, and use oil plus either lime-sulfur or copper. I’m running low on lime-sulfur so am using copper (Kocide 3000) this year and saving the lime-sulfur for my pears.
