@alan I have Avaunt and assail available, am I correct your 2nd/3rd sprays are Captan+Myclobutanil+Avaunt+Assail? You tank mix all 4? I’m spraying peaches and apples.
Thanks for the great resource.
yes

Actually for the 2nd, and usually final, insecticide spray, I replace myclo with Indar to get better control of brown rot for early ripening stonefruit.
Alan do you use a sticker with the dormant oil, myclobutanil and captan sprays?
I don’t use sticker with oil. Myclo doesn’t need a sticker, it is a systemic - Captan would be helped and I use a sticker for my summer brown rot and Marsonnina sprays.

Are there situations where you tank mix captan and mancozeb (captozeb) rather than captan and myclobutanil? Captozeb is mentioned in the yearly apple scab Cornell blogs.
No. Cornell doesn’t really offer expert advice for non-commercial growers and commercial ones tend to have a much larger problem of diseases developing resistance so it is much more important to vary controls.
I don’t use Myclo in my 2nd insecticide mix, I use Indar for the sake of the stone fruit that is in most of the orchards I manage.
which spray will control aphid, scale, white fly? it’s the early dormant oil or?
I’ve got a plum tree in fruit right now, green about half an inch fruit. but there’s ladybugs and a mantis cases or two and I want to get the aphids away without hurting the predators. I don’t think we have PC here.
what’s best to hit the tree with, if anything? it has no other visible issues.
I can’t get them all with the hose, the tree is too big.
