populations build up rapidly following Sevin applications
because it is toxic to predators. For this reason, it is not
generally recommended.  Sevin may be applied up to 1
day before harvest.
Superior Oil. Still one of the most effective
materials available for European red mite and scale control
in New Jersey. Oil can be applied safely between the
1/4-inch green and tight-cluster stages of bud
development. After prepink, there is an increasing risk of
phytotoxicity. Oil applied during silver tip to 1/4-inch
green is not nearly so effective as when applied during the
period between 1/2-inch green and full pink. Oil controls
mites by smothering the developing embryo within the
overwintering egg. Because eggs are laid on recessed
areas of spurs, twigs, limbs, andtrunk bark, thorough
coverage is required.
Supracide (methidathion) (2E) is labeled for use
during the dormant and delayed dormant stages. It is
effective against San Jose scale and aphids.
Thiodan (endosulfan) (50WP and 3EC). This is
a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide that is effective for
aphid, white apple leafhopper, catfacing insects, lesser
peach tree borers, and peach tree borers control. Check
label for application and harvest restrictions.
Vendex (fenbutatin-oxide) (50WP) is an organo-tin
miticide that non-toxic to honeybees and relatively non-
toxic to beneficial mites. It is registered for mite control
on apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, prunes, plums, and
cherries. Do not apply more than twice per season or
more than 4 pounds per acre. Vendex is relatively slow
acting so apply before mite infestations increase.
Vydate (oxamyl) (2L). Vydate is a systemic
carbamate insecticide-miticide labeled for control of white
apple leafhopper, spotted tentiform leafminer, and mites.
Do not apply within 30 days after petal fall because of
possible fruit thinning. Do not apply more than 400
gallons of spray per acre. Wait 14 days between
application and harvest.

Permethrin (Ambush 2E, 25WP and Pounce
3.2E, 25WP). Permethrin is a pyrethroid-type insecticide
labeled for control of plum curculio, rosy apple aphid,
spotted tentiform leafminer, tarnished plant bug, oblique-
banded leafroller, white apple leafhopper, tarnished plant
bug, Oriental fruit moth, and lesser peach tree borer. No
more than three applications are permitted per season for
apples. Permethrin is not recommended for postbloom
application. Do not apply within 7 days of harvest for
peaches. Permethrin is extremely toxic to mite predators
and has been shown to encourage mite buildup. See the
label for other restrictions.
|
Pounce (3.2E and 25WP). See permethrin.
Provado (imidacloprid) (1.6)is a systemic and
|
contact insecticide for post-bloom use on apples and pear.
It is effective against leafhoppers, leafminers, aphids, and
San Jose scale crawlers. It is toxic to bees so do not
allow it to drift onto blooming weeds. Allow 7 days
between last application and harvest.
Pyramite (Pyridaben) (60WP)is a
miticide/insecticide registered for postbloom use on apple
and pear. It is very effective against European red mite at
the low label rate. Use higher rates for twospotted spider
mites. Higher rates are also needed to control pear psylla
on pear.
Savey (hexythiazox) (50WP)is a ovicide/miticide
registered for use on apples and pear. On apple, apply
after dormancy has broken but no later than pink. Apply
during the cover season on pear but make applications
before mite populations build. Rotating between Savey
and Apollo may delay resistance development to these
products.
Sevin (carbaryl) (50WP, 80WP, XLR)is a broad
spectrum carbamate insecticide. It is highly toxic to bees
and should not be used near bloom. It also acts as a fruit
thinner on many varieties. (See section on ìChemical
Thinning.î) For peaches, Sevin is satisfactory for control
of plum curculio, Oriental fruit moth, catfacing insects,
Japanese beetle, and scales. Normally, aphid and mite
