Apply a full-coverage spray to thoroughly cover the tree canopy, including the undersides of leaves, to the point of runoff. If insects such as June beetles are feeding on your stone fruit trees, get added control over brown rot blossom blight by treating with liquid Sevin® Insect Killer insecticides.

How do you treat blossom blight?
Fungicides are an essential part of brown rot blossom blight treatment. In order to control this disease, you need to begin a fungicide spray program as soon as the trees begin to flower. Continue to use the fungicide throughout the growing season.
What is blossom blight?
Blossom Blight of Stone Fruit is caused by fungal pathogens Monilinia laxa and Sclerotinia lax. It is a disease of stone fruit that causes the death of flowers and fruit and occasionally shoots. Fruit may be infected as it nears maturity and small brown spots rapidly spread and rot the fruit within a few days.
How do you treat brown rot?
Luckily, brown rot is not a lethal disease. However, once fruits are infected, there are no curative treatments. To manage twig infections, prune four to six inches below sunken or dead tissue on each branch. Dispose of these branches by burning (where allowed by local ordinance) or burying them.
What do you spray for brown rot?
Many fungicides are labeled for brown rot, including azoxystrobin, benomyl, chlorothalonil, opper sulfate, fenbuconazole, iprodione, myclobutanil, propiconazole, sulfur, thiophanate-methyl, triforine, and vinclozolin. It takes a combination of cultural and chemical control practices to effectively manage this disease.
Is blight a disease?
Blight, any of various plant diseases whose symptoms include sudden and severe yellowing, browning, spotting, withering, or dying of leaves, flowers, fruit, stems, or the entire plant.
What fungicide is used for anthracnose?
The most effective fungicides for control are the protective fungicides containing chlorothalonil e.g., Daconil), copper sprays containing copper diammonia diacetate (e.g., Liquicop), propiconazole (e.g., Banner Maxx II), and the systemic fungicide thiophanate-methyl (e.g., Cleary's 3336, for professional use only).
What is bacterial canker?
Bacterial canker is a common and sometimes lethal disease of trees in the genus Prunus including cherry, plum and peach. Bacterial canker is also known as “gummosis”, “blossom blast”, “dieback”, “spur blight” and “twig blight”.
Do cherries rot?
Cherries may rot due to infection at bloom or from fruit to fruit contact.
What causes brown rot on peaches?
Brown rot is caused by the fungus Monilinia fructicola. The brown rot fungus survives the winter in mummified fruits (either on the ground or still on the tree) and in twig and branch cankers produced the preceding year. Both sources may produce spores that can infect blossoms and young shoots.
What is the best fungicide for brown rot?
Use the best fungicide combinations, Merivon or Luna Sensation + Captan, on the most susceptible crops, such as sweet cherries and peaches. For less susceptible crops such as tart cherries, Indar at 12 fluid ounces per acre plus Captan application may be more effective. Gem plus Captan can also be used.
What does Brown rot mean?
: a disease of stone fruits (such as peaches) caused by a fungus (genus Monilinia and especially M. fructicola)
What does brown rot warning mean?
“Brown-rot can cause serious losses to stone fruit especially in seasons with very wet weather during flowering or immediately pre-harvest,” he said. “The symptoms of brown-rot include blossom blight, twig blight, cankers, leaf shot-hole, quiescent infection and brown rot of the fruit.”
