Do not spray Horticultural Mineral Oil during drought and high humid (foggy) conditions. Do not mix the oil with sulphur or sulphur based pesticides as it may cause phytotoxicity / fruit injury.
Spray Horticultural Mineral Oil only if average mite population is less than 2 per leaf based on randomly selected sample of 100 leaves, collected from different plants. In case the mite population exceeds the above limit, spray the recommended acarcide / miticide.

Growers should be made clear about the classification of fungicides on the basis of protectants and eradicants,they should be made clear about,when should we spray protectant and when to spray eradicant,because in your spray schedule the protectants and eradicants are amalgamated,some growers spray oniły one category of fungicide throughout the year because they Havel to chose only one fungicide from the schedule of a particular spray……………..thanks
Subhash Thakur
