The experiment was blocked according to over-wintering scale density and was replicated four times. Trees were spaced 20 × 20 ft. The first San Jose scale crawler was observed on 1 Jun. Lorsban + Damoil was applied at delayed dormant on 10 Mar, Movento (6.0 and 9.0 oz.) + LI-700 were applied at petal fall on 19 April, and Centaur + Damoil was applied at crawler stage on 8 Jun to 13-year-old ‘Blushing Star’ peach trees using a Rears airblast sprayer (28 inch fan, 180 psi) delivering 100 gpa and pulled through the orchard at 2.6 mph. San Jose scale fruit damage at harvest was evaluated on 4 Aug by examining 25 fruit/tree (100 fruit/treatment). San Jose scale damage was determined by examining each fruit for aggregate scale damage. Percent damage data was transformed (arcsine) before analysis with ANOVA. Treatment means were separated using Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference, at P≤0.05 level. This research was supported by industry gifts of pesticide and/or research funding. At harvest, all treatments provided protection against scale damage. The 9.0 oz rate of Movento provided the best control. The 6.0 oz and 9.0 oz rates of Movento provided the best protection in the ≤ ¼ inch severity rating (Table 1).
