Applying insecticides and miticides on apples and pears:

  • To minimize the emergence of pests that are resistant to pesticides, avoid repeated application or season-long use of pesticides with the same mode of action.
  • Use a delayed dormant oil application to control European red mite and San Jose scale.
  • Use broad-spectrum insecticide only against codling moth, plum curculio, and leafrollers.
  • Use narrow-spectrum insecticides if problems are detected with aphids, leafhoppers, leafminers, and San Jose scale.
  • Avoid using products known to be highly toxic to predatory mites or predaceous insects.

    Foliar Feeding Click To Enlarge Image

    Foliar fertilization, a water soluble fertilizer that is sprayed on the foliage, may help small woody plants, especially plants that aren't getting enough iron. Foliar feeding of trees is becoming more popular and is often used to correct any micronutrient deficiencies. Iron chlorosis is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies, due to typically high soil pH values. Iron can be added anytime during the growing season, as it does not stimulate excessive growth but corrects a chlorotic (leaf yellowing symptom) condition.

    A Michigan State College study has shown plants absorb nutrients not only through the roots, but also through the foliage, the fruit, the twigs, the trunk and even the flowers. Plants can absorb nutrients 8 to 10 times more efficiently through their leaf surfaces than through their roots. When applying nutrients to the leaf, the nutrients move through the stomata downward through the plant--at the rate of about a foot an hour. When applying nutrients to the leaves in soluble forms, as much as 95 percent of what is applied may be used by the plant. If a similar amount is applied to the soil about 10 percent of it is available. Foliar feeding is effective even on dormant plants and trees.
