Unfortunately, all too often crop results are poor due to a variety of pest problems which arise during the season. Following a well-planned spray schedule from now through summer is essential to assure a successful harvest at the end of the season. (EXTENSION) AAAml Apple scab, a very common fungus disease, is probably the biggest threat to apple trees year after year. This disease begins to infect apples at early bloom and continues through fruit set, thus fungicide sprays need to be applied regularly during this period. Powdery mildew and cedar-apple rust are two other fungus diseases which can threaten apple crops. In addition to diseases, apple trees also need to be sprayed on a regular basis to guard against insect pests. Apple maggots are a serious problem here in northern Illinois, which requires spraying through the month of August for control. Other common insect pests include codling moths, aphids, and. leaf rollers. Also, mites may be* problem in drier years, such as in 1983. Home gardeners need to begin spraying as leaf and flower buds show color and begin to open, and then continue at 7 to 10 day intervals until about July 1. This frequent spraying is needed to assure protection against fungus diseases, which can rapidly infect foliage under wet con­ ditions. Additionally, spraying every 10 to 14 days through July and August is needed for control of apple maggots. Do not spray within two weeks of harvest. Using multipurpose fruit sprays, which contain both fungicides and insecticides, is often the most convenient way for homeowners to follow spray schedules. These often are made up of captan (fungicide) and both methoxychlor and malathion (insecticides). Otherwise, materials can be obtained separately and mixed together before spraying. A recommended mix would in­ clude captan, zineb, (fungicides) and either phosmmet (Imidan) or diazinon (insecticides). Whether mixing materials yourself or going with a multipurpose fruit spray, oc­ casionally it is necessary to add additional materials for special problems. For instance, if powdery mildew i» often a problem, add sulfur to the spray material. If mites are a big problem, add dicofol (Kelthane) for better control. This may seem like lots of spraying, but this is needed to give apple trees adequate pest protection throughout the season. Spraying only once or twice will not give adequate coverage, and is a common reason for poor apple crops. With this much spraying required, proper handling and application of pesticides is essential. Always read the label thoroughly and follow all precautions and instructions. Only mix up what you plant to spray that date; don't leave extra materials in the sprayer for extended periods of time. Never leave pesticides in un­ marked containers and do not transfer into milk cartons, soft drink bottles, etc. that could cause a disastrous situation for an unsuspecting person later. Much of pesticide safety is simply common senses The Illinois Cooperative Extension- Service provides equal opportunities in programs and employment regardless of race, religion, sex, or handicap.
