1 Aphids are best controlled with the silver-tip or 1/4-1/2" green spray; otherwise they will be within curled leaves and protected from insecticides. "Green aphids" are a complex of two species, spirea aphid (SA) and apple aphid (AA).
2 Do not apply oil when the temperature
is higher than 85F or lower than 35F. Use only oil having
specifications that meet the standards for a superior oil. Always
test such oil for physical compatibility before using it. See45
page for details. Dilute applications of oil are more
effective.
