Insect & Disease Programs - Simplified
Horticultural Oil Timing - In later winter or early spring (February & March) before the tree's buds start to open. A fall application is available from September - November. The oil coats over wintering insects and eggs thus suffocating them. Fungicide Application Our program consists of a recommended 4 visits. Timing - In the early spring (from the time of leaf-out, usually March) for the next 4 weeks (into April) at intervals of 10-14 days depending on the amount of rainfall between visits and the amount of cold weather delaying the leafing-out process. In an orchard situation, where "perfect" fruit is demanded, up to 12 applications are routinely made at 4 times the expense and not necessarily that much difference in the amount of fungal growth or results. Our procedure strops the growth of fungal spores on the leaf surfaces deposited there by wind & rain action. Only susceptible trees and shrubs are treated to help prevent leaves from being marked or dropping prematurely. Foliar Insect Control Application Our program consists of a recommended 4 visits. Timing - From April through August, spaced at approximately 4--6 week intervals. Our procedure is intended to control a wide variety of leaf consuming insects ranging from gypsy moths to tent caterpillars to aphids and leaf minors. The insects are controlled by physical contact with our insecticide or by ingesting part of a treated leaf. Deep Root Fertilization This application is a slow-release program of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as well as micro nutrients especially chosen for Western Pennsylvania soils. This application increases the vigor of your plants and is critical in maintaining a good and health growth habit. Timing - soil injected in the Spring and Fall.
