Tony Our Pest Protection is only suggested against white cabbage butterfly and slugs and snails. It is not suggested for scale. Our kiwifruit clients still use an oil to reach export quality.
The general program including Etherics Seaweed has shown a reduction of scale on citrus etc over a period of time. As our clients use oil we have not been 'spurred on' to find a specific solution for it. regards Glen A Rambler wrote: > > Hi folks Can any one tell what scale insects on Nephrolepis fern [ > Boston fern] are indicating. > This is a crop grown under cover harvested all year round and in about > the 3 rd year scale insects appear.
