I am in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. We are at tight cluster and will be
in pink by Monday.
I understand that an oil spray is most effective on mites at early pink, so I
am planning to try that on a small block at about 3 gallons oil per acre. Does
anyone have experience with oil at this timing?
Also, I have heard that the oil spray can reduce yield. Is this because it
makes the blossom more susceptible to frost?
