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.

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.
