eral rule, however, may be used lor most home fruit plantings. Start the protectant pesticide spray program in the spring when the young foliage is approximately ohe-fourth inch long on the earliest variety of breakbud and spray all varieties at the same time. It is much easier to follow this procedure than it is to attempt to spray each variety according to its stage of growth. One will have to apply sprays during the full blossom stage of some varieties. This spray usually will not interfere with pollination because no insecticides are included with the fungicides recommended for use at this time.
How much spray per tree: There is not accurate measure of how much spray to apply per tree. There are too many variables in the types of sprayers that are available, the wetability of the leaves and fruit of the different species of fruit, the amount of wetting agent (surfactant) contained in the different pesticides, and the extreme variability of the environment (wind blowing, dry, hot, wet, cool, ect., each of which influences wetting the foliage) when the protectant pesticide is being applied. A general rule of thumb is to spray the foliage and fruits until droplets form and begin to run or drip off. For the beginner the amount of pesticides suggested for coverage of different size trees will be helpful.
For example, a five-foot tree with a three- to six-foot spread should get a gallon. A 30-foot tree with a 30-foot spread should get about 18 gallons.
