In my research plots in middle GA, I am starting to see an uptick in San Jose scale crawler activity. In these plots San Jose scale have been especially bad this year, and as such, I expect the third large peak of \u00a0crawler activity to occur within 7-10 days in middle Georgia<\/strong>. Thus, the ridge has about two weeks and upstate SC has about three weeks from now until we would expect to see a peak in crawler activity. \u00a0As a reminder, scale crawler activity can me monitored with electrical tape and double-sided tape (or vaseline)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In orchard blocks with a history of bad scale outbreaks or in blocks that have not yet been managed for scale, then we still have some options for scale management. Esteem<\/strong> (6 oz; PHI=14 days) or Centaur<\/strong> (34.5 oz; PHI=14 days) are likely our best (albeit expensive) options. When targeting peak of the scale crawlers,\u00a0Venerate XC<\/strong> (2 qt\/acre applied twice over 7 day period; 4 qt total; PHI=0 days) or diatomaceous earth<\/strong> (i.e. Celite 610 @ 10 lb\/acre) have both showed efficacy at suppressing San Jose scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, in post-harvest blocks, consider applying 2% summer oil<\/strong>, aiming for 200 gallons of water\/acre in order to get the best coverage possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope everyone is doing as well as they can during these crazy times!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
