Like the title says… I’m looking for good recommendations & where to find them! They don’t necessarily have to be organic, but I’d prefer it. In the past I’ve used insecticidal soap and copper fungicide, but they didn’t seem all that effective. Maybe it was my application or frequency, but I’ve also got more trees now, so I feel like I need something a little more heavy duty than something you’d pick up at Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Garden-Safe-24-fl-oz-Ready-to-Use-Fungicide3-HG-10414X-6/100352268
Ross,
Surround is not insecticide. It is a protectant. Its white coat on trees and fruit protect the fruit, can irritate pests and deter them from laying eggs or boring into the fruit.
Spinosad is insecticide that can be mixed with Surround.
I put up a schedule of a mostly-organic approach here:
If you can’t find something ask and someone may have a source. For Surround, http://7springsfarm.com is my usual place. I think someone else may have found an even cheaper place, I can’t remember now.
Edit: I overlapped with mamuang’s post… I forgot I put sources at the bottom of the schedule.
