only ever heard of one spray for fruit trees, Captain I think it was called
That’s quite a list, mind if I ask what chemicals do you use for each.Yes I do. Winter moth is a problem for me, they need treating early spring. Codling moth is a routine treatment June/July and aphids from time to time if/when necessary.
Fungicides against Scab and Mildew are routine and done every 10-14 days through the season.
I try to be very careful with the chemicals as I would prefer not to use any but I do not think I would have a saleable crop if I didn't, scab, codling and winter moth damage would render them useless.
I am also very careful to select the chemical that is either target specific or will do the least harm to beneficial insects, I also remove as much of any mildew infected wood as I can by hand to reduce further infection and chemical requirement.
The other major reason for reducing chemicals is the sheer cost of them. They have always been expensive but I am seeing 20% increases post covid on most chemistry which is very much approaching the tipping point for viability of the orchards right now.
