Ok, more seriously: Serenade does have some efficacy against FB and a number of diseases. But I really wonder on the return on money spent on it compared to anything else we spray. Maybe I'm wrong. Vincent Philion, agr., M.Sc. > Le 2 avr. 2017 à 13:13, Kim Logan <kelke...@gmail.com>

Hi! it would be interesting to define “cool” in the southern California context. ;-) Temperature in the mid-90 (35 ℃ for the rest of the planet) (or more) clearly isn’t favorable for blight. Flowers age faster at that temperature, while the bacteria is slowed down. Plus, if the trees are

Strep works very well for blossom blight, until abuse brings it down (resistance). Sticking to bloom sprays and making sure it’s applied only when it’s needed is key. > sceptical that these antobiotic sprays work at all, only good for the blooms > and chemical dealers,

Hi! I have no idea about the effect of copper content in soil on FB management. That’s a new one for me. I tried to look it up, but couldn’t find anything. For FB, removing “any” stress is not a silver bullet though. As mentioned in previous posts, some water stress can save your trees when
