Anyone follow a schedule for fungicide/insecticide spraying for a home orchard? Preferably with ingredients that are readily available?

I've been using this on mine for a couple of years tractor supply. I usually spray after the blooms have all dropped. It seems to work.

I use the same brand on mine. It's called cpt jacks dead bug brew and looks like the same bottle. Not sure of the differences. Has definitely got rid of leaf miners.

Make sure to spray most herbicides after the blooms have fallen to avoid killing bees.
I spray with Deltamethrin because I have it on hand for general bug spray.

10-4, appreciate the input. I’ve heard to use insecticide at bud swell and after bloom drop in addition to dormant oil. Sevin and malathion seem common choices for insecticides. Some universities promote mal for plums and others don’t.

I would not apply insecticide until after all the blooms have dropped (not at bud swell in other words). unnecessary risk to the bees
