Rafael will be spraying bloom next week

I guess peaches need a lot of constant maintenance..

Rovral  (Brown Rot, Jacket Rot and Shot hole)    $29.14/ac
440 Oil (Spreader)                                            $  7.13/ac
Cal-more (Foliar nutrient)                                   $13.24/ac

Jacket rot looks like the following. Jacket rot occurs during the jacket stage when remnants of the flower parts are still attached to the fruit. The disease causes a brown discoloration on the fruit under the jacket. The young fruit withers and falls off the tree within a few weeks. One fungicide application at full bloom is generally effective.



Shot hole: Buds of peach are killed in the winter. Fruit may become rough and corky. Spotting occurs on the upper surface, like the one on leaves below:
