It 1s [ mmz I not the scales we climb on to m ,! find the effect of eating our way | B through the winter, but the scales on §" s plants that are our target this month. These are small insects that inhabit N most of North America, living under ‘ shells fixed to a tree or shrub, or â€" attached to their bodies. The scales stay in the same place for their short lives sucking food from the host plant. Eggs are laid or young are live born in the spring. These crawlers move to a new location on the host. Scale seldom kills mature shrubs or trees rapidâ€" ly, but if left alone will weaken or kill them in a few years. Young trees may die the first year. The mature scales and the eggs may be killed by an application of dormant oil and/or dormant lime sulphur. The application must be made before buds start to develâ€" op on the plants. Scales may also be destroyed in the Checking scales can be a problem crawler stage in May, June, or July depending on the type of scale. There are various pesticides that may be used on the crawlers depending on the plant and the scale type. Carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, and diazinon are three commonly used pesticides. Check the package instructions for the correct one and the timing. Dormant oils are the most commonly used as they may be effectively applied over a longer period of time. They kill the eggs before the insects hatch so avoid all damage. The complete plant may be sprayed more easily when they are leafless. Dormant oils also kill eggs of mealy bugs, thrips, aphids, mites, coddling moths, orienâ€" tal fruit moths, and fruit tree leaf rollers. Oil and lime sulphur may be combined at lower conâ€" centrations into a single dormant spray. The oil helps conâ€" trol scale and other insects, and the lime sulphur helps control many fungus diseases such as peach leaf curl. WHAT TO SPRAY The spray program for apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach, plum, apple, and pear in Publication #64 suggests dormant oil sprays for scale. The trees should be carefully inspected for scale this month. Omamental trees that may need spraying are: English Precautions to take include following all directions on the package.
