Pomegranate bugs. How to prevent the insects from destroying the fruit?

Hey Susan,





Pomegranate like many other fruits can be protected by systemic treatments (Bayer has a good one), that you put down according to the label. The other alternative would be to spray with a fruit tree spray (Ortho makes one called %26#039;Fruit Tree Spray%26#039;). Follow the label instructions. Never spray the flowers. You spray before the flowers or after the flower falls off leaving just the fruit. The site below says : %26quot;...Spray with Sevin or Malathion or insecticidal soap if insects become a problem.%26quot;, which are not very strong and would only be a problem within a couple of days of spraying - a good alternative.





Be sure to read the labels on your chemical applications.
