Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 235102, member: 944"] Start your spray regimen at bud swell with Neem OIl. This will kill any eggs and insects that have overwintered. When you have fruit set prune to open up the interior of the tree and spray again with Neem. About every 2-3 weeks thereafter spray the fruit with Bt to kill the codling caterpillars if there are any. If you see any caterpillar damage at any time on any part of the tree spray again with Bt. If you see any insect damage spray with spinosad. If your see any fungal diseases or spots on leaves spray again with Neem. But your local growers know more about when to spray in your area than I do. [/QUOTE]
