¹ CAUTION: Thorough coverage is essential for leaf curl control. Apply when there is little or no wind and use dilute sprays only. May be applied in the fall after 90% of the leaves have fallen or in the spring before the buds swell. If leaf curl has been severe or difficult to control, use the higher rate per 100 gal of dilute spray. In those peach and nectarine orchards where leaf curl was severe during the previous year, a fall and spring application of either of the above fungicides would be advisable until the leaf curl problem has been corrected. According to the label, both spring and fall applications of Bravo may be made for control of leaf curl. Thorough coverage of each bud is necessary for leaf curl control.

Do not combine liquid lime sulfur with oil.

² The above dilute rate for Bravo 720 is for 300 gal/A.

³ NOTE: Treatments with copper compounds are suggested where bacterial spot has been a problem.
