Simple Spray Schedule

General Fruit Growing
#1

Hi. I have a friend who is new to orcharding that inherited an orchard with a wide array of fruit trees and berry bushes. They asked me for a simply spray schedule that would be easy for a novice to understand (concise and clear). I like BACKYARD FRUIT PRODUCTION by David Schlabach that has a pretty clear, concise spray schedule.
Does anyone have a concise, simple spray guide in a document they like that I could pass along?
Thanks very much,
Frank

Here’s what I use in Virginia 6b. Could apply elsewhere.

Here is one for southern peaches, plums and pecans. Look at charts in back.

I’d recommend reviewing Scott’s spray schedules and having them decide if they want to try to stay close to organic or incorporate synthetic options.

Safety is important, make sure they wear the proper clothing and gear!
