Phylloxera Control

Treat for Phylloxera at Budbreak

In most instances there will be only a few trees that need treatment, and these can be sprayed while unaffected trees are passed. Using this method, trees that are marked for spraying can be watched from first to last to break bud. As soon as all the marked trees have broken bud, they can all be sprayed. Spot treatment of infested trees is advantageous because (1) the grower does not have to wait until the last trees in the orchard break bud and (2) the trees can be covered in a shorter period of time. Growers often find that only a few varieties or only a few native trees need a phylloxera spray.
