Spray schedule for Peaches: PART I

Finalized spray schedule with Elsa. It was a lot to process for me. I highly respect her for her passion and knowledge. She knows  her peach farming. Lots of new stuff that I didn't know before..

PART 1:

1. Silencer - Oriental Fruit Moth
2. PMZ Plus - Foliar Nutrient/Buffer
3. Micro Sulfur - Mildew control
4. Potassium Nitrate - Foliar Nutrient

Here is a pic of the major pests of cling peaches (which is all what we grow).  Oriental fruit moth in the upper left, and peach twig borer, left middle. These pests can bore into the terminal of the leaf, lower left, and cause it to wither and die, right.
