I also have peach leaf curl and would like to try this. Where did you buy the ingredients? I didn't see then in your Amazon store. On another note: I used the OHN as a pre-emergent on one of my peach trees this year, and it has significantly less curl than the other trees. I applied it due to a different bark condition. I recently read somewhere that the fungus lives on the bark and that the best defense is to apply treatment just before and during the stage the leaves are emerging so that they aren't infected. Going forward that'll be the approach I try to take.
Yeah, I missed using this as a dormant spray. Definitely going to take the same approach as you. You can get the sulfur, sodium hydroxide from dudadiesel.com. Also you can get potassium hydroxide for making the wetting agent JWA fro them too. They sell these items in smaller packages that works well for batches at our scale. Only downside is freight is now pretty high.
@@BareMtnFarm thank you. I have yet to make the wetting agents. Have you tried LAB on the leaf curl? I was also thinking since the fungus stays in the soil that possibly some sort of JMS as a soil drench a few times over winter might help?! I really want to be successful with my peaches & nectarines!
💦 Once the lye and water are stirred to make the lye solution, lye solution will become very hot, sometimes reaching 200 degrees. When you are ready to make the lye solution, (((((ALWAYS pour the lye into the water.))))) One of the best tips that I've found to remember the order is to envision a light snow falling into a pond. ❄
Hi there, have you tried this for peony fungal diseases? Or mostly do you recommend calcium spray?
Did you measure the pH of the finished product?
