• Aphids: Make application when aphids first appear and before the leaves are rolled
as a result of these pests.

first application soon after the petal fall is complete. A second application at the same
dosage 10 days later should be applied to the early instar larvae.
• Mealybugs: Thorough and uniform coverage is necessary.
• San Jose Scale: Make application when crawlers are present. Ensure complete spray
coverage of the branches, stems and leaves.
