When applying materials as soil drench, use at least 200 gallons water. During the growing season, destroy dying canes and those showing evidence of infestation. Eradicate wild brambles in the area, because they may harbor the pest.
Be careful of seasonal total application limitations on these materials especially if you want to use them for SWD or BMSB later in the season. |

Apply Ridomil in 3 ft wide band over the row in early fall; repeat in early spring before growth begins.
Apply Phostrol in sufficient water to thoroughly wet the foliage. Apply Actinovate as soil drench; best if introduced before disease becomes well established. Apply Rootshield PLUS as transplant starter solution or in-furrow spray

Orange rust
|
|
|
Inspect plantings when plants are 12–18 inches high for symptoms (see text
for description). Remove infected plants before orange spores are produced. |
Fungicides for orange rust have no purpose until orange spores are present. Plantings should be monitored for presence of orange spores starting in midspring. Once found, fungicides listed under “Prebloom” for orange rust may be used.

Check tender cane growth and underside of leaves. Aphid sprays can also suppress blackberry pslyllid. Aphids can vector viruses which pose more risk than feeding damage alone.

Do not apply Asana within 7 days of pollination as it will repel bees.
Actara is highly toxic to bees, use with caution.
Venerate for suppression only; apply early when populations low, newly hatched. |
