Spraying Dilemma

Grub · February 1, 2006

I usually spray Daconil mixed with Pyrethrum concentrate about fortnightly if there's no heavy rain. Seems to work well for me at keping some EB at bay and stopping grubs and helping quell the fruit fly.

If I spray this mix in hot weather it can create a small brown burn area on the bottom of the fruit. I have seen this happen before.

On the pyrethrum it says don't spray in weather over 25C. Well, all our days are +25C. And I can't spray at night. And the plants are due for it.

Any ideas? I might just have to bite the bullet and spray regardles of the high temps. Grub
