APPLICATION #1
This is a preventative application of horticultural oil designed to
minimize insect activity on many plants throughout the season. Dormant
oil will be applied before trees leaf out to control Adelgids, Scales,
Mites and Aphids that over-winter on the roots, twigs and trunks of
woody trees and shrubs. |
| |
APPLICATION #2 - Spring Fertilizer
This treatment will be recommended for plant material that was
not fertilized the previous fall or that will benefit from increased
fertilizer due to environmental stress or poor health.
|
|
APPLICATION #3, 4, 5 - Inspection & Insect/Disease Control
Treatments start with an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) inspection
of plant material to monitor pest activity, followed by a series of
applications of disease controls to reduce leaf spot, anthracnose,
cedar/apple rust, apple scab and tip blights. Applications will begin
at bud break and proceed until trees and shrubs are fully leafed out.
Insect controls will be applied to treat specific early season insect
pests such as birch leaf minor, bronze birch borer* and gall-forming
insects. Microinjections and soil-drenching will be done at appropriate
times during Applications #3 and #5. |
|
APPLICATION #6, 7, 8 - Inspection & Insect/Disease Control
Treatments continue with IPM monitoring of trees and shrubs. Insect
controls will be applied to suppress pests such as Saw Fly, Japanese
Beetle*, Lace Bug, Aphids, White Fly, Scale, Caterpillars, Skeletonizers
and Web Worms. Disease controls will be applied selectively to minimize
leaf spot and powdery mildew. This is a critical time to treat plants
that have been damaged by insects after suffering heat/drought related
injury.

|
APPLICATION #9 - Anti-Dessicant Spray
This liquid application of anti-dessicant spray will help reduce
damage caused by windburn and loss of moisture. Dry winter winds
blowing across exposed plants cause moisture loss, which cannot
be replaced because plants are dormant and ground moisture is frozen.
This treatment is especially effective on broadleaf evergreens.
|
|
APPLICATION #10 - Comprehensive Fertilization
This application of anti-dessicant spray will help reduce damage
caused by windburn and loss of moisture. Dry winter winds blowing
across exposed plants cause moisture loss, which cannot be replaced
because plants are dormant and ground moisture is frozen. This treatment
is especially effective on broadleaf evergreens.
*Control of these pests may be limited.
