Non-showy (left) and showy (right)
7 Preventing spray injury At higher spray volumes spray droplets can combine so that the possibility of injury is greater. On larger trees, this often occurs between 80 and 150 gallons per acre. For example, Topguard applied to runoff under cool conditions may cause leaf spotting and/or leaf edge burn, especially on Braeburn.
8 Pesticide concentration and phytotoxicity Excessive concentrations. If a pesticide is applied at a specific rate to an agricultural field, it must be applied in a specific volume of water. Some pesticides are safe to the crop if applied at a high enough dilution. Also, the ph of the water used can affect both pesticide activity and phytotoxicity. For example, phosphite fungicides can be phytotoxic when used in less than 50 gallons/acre of water if the ph of the water is less than 5.5.
9 Preventing spray injury Russeting of sensitive apple varieties is most often increased naturally by cool, rainy, or humid weather in the early growing season. Russeting by chemicals may be increased if they are applied under slow drying conditions, or if sprays are applied at night. Emulsifiable materials applied to leaves are more likely to cause injury than wettable powders.
10 Apple lenticel problems caused by ag chemicals Liquid calcium products and spray adjuvants may carry Captan into fruit lenticels. Captan carried into lenticels may produce lenticel spots that appear some after spraying as well as sub lethal damage that appears only during storage. Lenticel spot on SweeTango apple Calcium materials may cause injury when mixed with materials containing copper and zinc and possibly other heavy metals.

12 Apogee (Prohexadione-Ca) for growth suppression and fire blight management in apples Reduces active shoot growth Limits shoot blight strikes Reduces # cankers Absorbed by apple foliage, only shoots that are sprayed are affected May have use in high density plantings where trees have filled space. Maybe can be used at low doses in early years of planting Do not use on Empire or Winesap due to fruit cracking issues in some years
13 Use of Apogee for russet reduction A single application of Apogee (12 oz/a) applied at petal fall reduced the severity of both fruit russet on Golden Delicious and scarf skin on Rome Beauty and Gala apples. Apogee + ProVide was more effective than treatments than Apogee alone. S. McArtney, North Carolina State University 2006
14 Captan injury Captan damage to apples usually appears during the three weeks after petal fall At this time leaves are tender, and spray mixtures used at petal fall and in first and second cover sprays commonly include insecticides, growth regulators, foliar nutrients, and spray adjuvants. To reduce risks of leaf and fruit injury in the future, growers should consider omitting captan from sprays applied to fruit trees between full bloom and 2nd cover.
15 Captan application to European plum when fruit & leaves were small and tender resulted in injury Tree Fruit Update
16 Insect management Calypso (Bayer) - voluntary cancellation, all crops. Reason: registration review process & new water model. No more will be produced. - Calypso products in the channels of trade can be sold and distributed until Feb 8, Growers with existing stocks may continue to use product in the labelled manner until those existing stocks are gone or tolerance is revoked, whichever comes first. Thiodan (endosulfan) phase-out complete for all tree fruit Pristine production discontinued
17 Sucking insect management San jose scale Wooly apple aphid Rosy apple aphid Brown marmorated stink bug European red and two spotted spider mites Potato and white apple leaf hoppers

19 Oil spray on apples for mites, aphids, scale 2 to 3 gal superior oil per 100 gal water until tight cluster, reduce to 1 gal oil per 100 gal from tight cluster to pink. 300 gal water per acre is recommended. Concentrating more than 3x makes phytotoxicity more likely. can add one of the following for greater efficacy: Lorsban 4EC 2-4 pt / acre Diazinon 50W 2-3 lb / acre Esteem 35WP 4-5 oz / acre Flaky San Jose scale or time spray for crawlers later Dead trees due to scale
20 2 nd gen. flight 1 st gen. flight 3 rd gen. flight
21 Avoiding burning with oil Do not use oils within 24 hrs before or after low temperatures (below 40 F) when green tissue present. Oils make tender tissue more susceptible to frost damage Apply oils in rapid drying conditions to avoid phytotoxicity problems Avoid damage due to double application that occurs when the first side dries before the other side of the tree is sprayed Trees under moisture stress and at temperatures over 80 F are more prone to burn by oil treatment
22 Use of Spray Oils for Tree Fruit Insect Management Paraffinic (petroleum-based) horticultural oil is an economical and effective method of mite control. Where San Jose scale is a main target of oil sprays, the best application timing is at green tip. Wait until half-inch green or pink if your primary target is European red mite or rosy apple aphid. Although Lorsban, Supracide, and Diazinon are labeled for use with oil to increase scale control, trials have shown that oil alone results in greater than 98 percent control of scales if coverage is thorough. Adding aninsecticide does improve aphid control. Oil spray application timing and rate options Stage Description Oil rate (gal / 100 gal) Full dormant Before bud break 3 gal Delayed dormant Green tip to ½ green 2 gal Tight cluster Tight cluster 1 gal Example: Damoil $8.40 / gal, Bio Cover MLT (Purespray) $7.80 / gal
23 Examples of common oils BASF Ultra-Fine Oil Parffinic concentration (%) Unsulfonated residue 50% distillation point 10 to 90% distillation range 98 99% 414 F 65 F max Sunspray Oil 11E 99 92% F JMS Stylet Oil %?? Damoil 98 92%?? Omni Oil 98 92% 415 F? Purespray 10E = Bio Cover MLT 98 99% 408 F 76
24 Esteem controls scale anytime between half inch green and second cover. At half-inch green it also controls rosy apple aphid. When used at pink it also controls leafminer. The minimum rate is effective for scale when used pre-bloom, but the maximum rate is necessary if application is delayed until the crawler stage in early summer. Not effective against European red mite Esteem 35W (4-5 oz /acre) ~ approx $40 to $50/acre
25 Woolly Apple Aphid WAA overwinters underground on apple tree roots as immature nymph or egg Feeding damage to roots causes galls and can be severe enough to girdle tree Above ground stage emerge in early summer and feed on new growth or wounds in tree
26 Woolly Apple Aphid Can cause some fruit finish problems from honeydew and annoy pickers Varieties that tend to have WAA problems include Fuji, Rome, Greening, York and Ginger Gold. Also a pest of elm, hawthorn, mountain ash and pear
27 Apple Rootstock Characteristics Note: many are susceptible to WAA G.222 Wooly aphid MM106 & MM111 are resistant to Wooly apple aphid
28 Non-target effects of ag chemicals on wooly apple aphid Pyrethroids will flare mites, woolly apple aphids and San Jose scale Lannate and Diazinon are harsh broad spectrum insecticides Assail and Delegate cause minor flare-ups of mites and woolly apple aphid for a couple of years after the introduction Parasitized woolly aphids Confirm and Intrepid easier on predators Predators

30 Movento for control of Woolly Apple Aphid Movento is effective on aphids, scale, and wooly apple aphid. It is less reliable on large standard or semi-dwarf trees due to trouble penetrating through the bark. Movento at 9 oz/acre plus penetrating surfactant has proven very effective in controlling aphids and scale. Movento timing for WAA is around May 25 or when you 1 st see colonies. Movento will also San Jose scale crawlers if the spray is timed early in the season (around 1st cover). Movento preharvest interval is 7 days. Cost of Movento = approx. $990/gal, at 9 oz/acre = $70 / acre
31 Closer (Dow AgroSci.) sulfoxaflor Group 4C insecticide registered for pome fruits, stone fruits and grapes sap-feeding insects(aphids, leafhoppers and mealybugs) shares a target site with neonicotinoid insecticides, but with a unique mode of action. Closer will control insects tolerant to neonics. translaminar movement in leaves, moves with water stream in plant relatively safe on many beneficials.
32 Resistance problems with rosy aphids For Lorsban and pyrethroid resistant rosy apple aphid Use delayed dormant oil or prebloom application Assail. Assail, a neonicotinoid, is quickly absorbed and is safer for bees than other neonic insecticides

47 Summary of pheromone disruption use in tree fruit crops Strategy is to confuse or mislead males and prevent mating Useful for codling moth, oriental fruit moth, peach tree borers, and dogwood borers Twin tube type pheromone dispenser Illustration credit: Washington State University
48 Summary of pheromone disruption use in tree fruit crops Need at least 3/4 acre orchard, more or less solid stand Not as effective if surrounded by orchards where the insect is not being well managed. If 1 st year of use, won t see benefit until 2 nd generation. This is because disruption does not kill, it only helps to prevent the next generation Good strategy to bring down a big population Twin tube type dispensor
49 Pheromone source Great Lakes IPM Useful products
50 Need to monitor the disrupted insect to make sure that the disruption is working Monitor with traps & fruit inspection. Because insects have uneven distribution in an orchard you need to have approximately 2 traps per 10 acres Need more than 1 trap per block, regardless of the size, in order to have a better average trap count

Apply no sooner than weekly. Look for signs of copper injury and the amount of copper residue before each application. If copper is obvious on the foliage, hold off. If the amount of copper damage is becoming significant, hold off. Lime alone can be applied to help safen the existing copper on the foliage. modified from summary by David Ritchie, North Carolina State University
