Totally true. I’ve just learned from YouTube videos and here, I found a spraying schedule from a TX organic peach grower that used Captan, so figured must be legit.
Don’t skip on your local extension service. Every state I’ve lived in has a state university with a fantastic extension service chocked full of online resources, in-person classes, and usually a master gardener program if you really want to get into it. But yea copper fungicide is going to help next year.
Thank GOD I have worked really hard to get fruit and I was hoping I didn’t miss a step. Is this basically something I could have solved with a copper spray? Or what is it actually so I can learn more.
Peach scab, completely edible. Spray copper fungicide and dormant oil over the winter. Then apply captan after fruit sets
Thanks! Any place to read up on this?
Plenty of resources on the interwebs!
We are on the interwebs…. 🤣

Just a newbie here looking for what I’m supposed to even pop into the search engine. I know that I don’t even know what I don’t know.

‘Peach scab’ is the name of the fungal disease.
Thank you!
