Rats: If your nursery is near cereal crops, start to check your rat bait boxes.
Rabbits: Rabbits seem to be quite selective about what they eat, but once they get the taste for our top-quality nursery stock they never look back on boring old dandelions. Damage is identifiable from other pests as it is bitten off at a 45 degs angle, never straight. The most common control involves...
Remember to look back at last month's list of products that will lose approvals over the year end and into the early part of next year. Make sure that your spray programme has the products being phased out deleted and suitable replacements incorporated. Further information can be found at www.pesticides.gov.uk...
Shot hole: Apply the second Cyprokylt spray on cherries to gain overwintering control of bacterial shot hole and potential canker infections.

Being seed-borne, it can be carried through most stages of the plant's life. Routine...

Break open a bud and you will see a small, yellowy larva inside the hollow stem; spray Toppel 10, Dursban WG or Gyro.
