Cattle grazing-read label Benomyl used
alone may aid the development of resis-
tant strains of diseases especially
pecan scab.
Increase vol/tree as foliage grows.
Alternation of insecticide through-
out season is suggested to avoid
outbreak of secondary pests.
Spray for aphids and mites only if
avg. of more than 30/compound leaf,
if sprayed previously for nut case-
bearer, do not repeat.
If weather is rainy, apply fungi-
cides at 2 wk intervals or increase
rate by 1/2. Combinations of insec-
ticides tank mixed may be necessary
to control all pests present.
Check nuts for shuckworm damage
spray either #4,7,9,10,15,23,27
or 29 if present.
Apply second and third shuckworm
spray at 2 week intervals after
first spray.
S,DS,BLS, Aphids and mites may build up if
PM,A,M,HS,W Sevin is used for W. Monitor and
spray if numbers of aphids exceeds
avg. of 10/compound leaf. Sample
randomly throughout the orchard.
S,DS,BLS, Do not apply after shuck split. The
PM,M,A,HS,W advantage of controlling late season
foliar diseases is currently contro-
versial. Therefore, an early to mid-
September fungicide application could
be beneficial.
'If different pesticide formulations are used, they should be used at an equivalent amount of actual
toxicant/acre. Tank mixes of different compounds should be tested in small amounts before filling tank.
2BLS=brown leaf spot, DS=downy spot, NB=nursery blight, PM=powdery mildew, S=scab,
A=aphid, HS=hickory shuckworm, LC=leaf casebearer, M=mites, NC=nut casebearer, P=phylloxera, SB=spittlebug,
W=weevil, FW=fall webworm/walnut caterpillar.
3This schedule is considered prophylactic and does not consider the improvements and savings that can
be gained by scouting of orchards for the detection of pests. We strongly recommend the use of scout
information to reduce the application of pesticides.
4For more detailed information consult the FAIRS computer program which is accessible through your local county
extension office.

'This schedule is a guide to aid the grower; however, all pertinent information relating to
the pesticides cannot be included. It is the responsibility of the grower to read the label
for information on restrictions and correct use. Use of a pesticide inconsistent with the
label is illegal. Do not graze treated orchards.

is mandated. If placed near emitters in irrigated orchards use 2.5-4.8 lbs ai/A.
