It is also a little slow to act, but its knockdown is greatly enhanced with oil. At 16 to 21 ounces per acre, it controls blackfly, thrips and the entire mite complex. Both knockdown and residual control were improved when tank mixed with oil. Leafminer is an ever-present pest, but probably not the primary target of a spray program. Greasy spot is practically ever-present, which is why I suggest including something for greasy spot every time a spray rig goes through the orchard.
Oil is fair, as is copper.
Given the broadest choice of pest control materials that I can remember, including the new ones, choosing the appropriate combination can be difficult. Citrus rust mite, California red scale and greasy spot are the primary targets. Secondary targets include other mites, other scales, blackfly, whitefly, leafminer and possibly leaf-footed plant bug. Depending upon assessment of the potential importance of those secondary pest targets, the miticide and scalicide combinations that are mutually beneficial and also provide control of important secondary pests is suggested. I'm just late getting this edition written.
