| OK, I admit I overcoddle my apricots. I managed to kill one once by spraying it with I know not what.
But last week I sprayed the stone fruits against PC, and within a day or two I saw some of the leaves curling inward along the longitudinal axis. Now I see some burning on the margins of a few leaves. There's nothing like this going on on the apricot I didn't spray because it's not fruiting, or on the aprium. Could it be the triazicide? |
Follow-Up Postings:

| Yes it certainly could be. I've seen leaf damage from liquid insecticides. It may be the non active ingredients needed to make a good spray solution more so than the active ingredient. |
|
| I assume that's why proper dosage is very important. |
|
| Very true, ramble. More isn't always better. I REALLY don't want to kill another apricot. They seem particularly susceptible. |

| I just sprayed my Harglow Apricot last week after 70% petal fall ( ( also mixed a bit of Immunox in the batch). All is well. I just followed the directions on the bottle. The only thing I see happening are the very fine cob webs on the tree (all trees). I thought triazicide killed insects 'upon contact'. Not all insects I guess. Mrs. G |
