Device and process for fruit tree insect control

Claim 1

A home gardener's method for fungus and insect control for pome fruit trees for an entire season avoiding repetitious application and the development of an insecticide resistant strain of insects using a first water soluble insecticide, a second water soluble insecticide, a third water soluble insecticide and a water soluble fungicide comprising the steps of: (a) mixing a pre-packaged amount of a first insecticide with a pre-determined amount of water to form an aqueous solution, and spraying a fruit tree with the aqueous solution when the tree leaf buds show green; (b) mixing a pre-packaged amount of a water soluble fungicide with a pre-determined amount of water to form an aqueous solution thereof and spraying the fruit tree ten days after step (a). (c) repeating the application of the aqueous fungicide solution of step (b) when the fruit buds begin to open; (d) mixing a pre-packaged amount of a second water soluble insecticide with a pre-determined amount of water and spraying the tree after three-fourths of the petals have dropped; (e) mixing a pre-packaged amount of the first water soluble insecticide with a pre-determined amount of water and spraying the tree approximately ten days following step (d); (f) spraying the tree approximately ten days following step (e) when no rain is predicted using an aqueous solution prepared as in step (d); (g) mixing a pre-packaged amount of a third water soluble insecticide with a pre-determined amount of water to form an aqueous solution and spraying the tree approximately ten days following step (b) when no rain is predicted; (h) mixing a pre-measured amount of the second insecticide and the third insecticide in a pre-determined amount of water to form an aqueous solution and spraying the tree with the aqueous solution approximately ten days following step (g) when no rain is predicted; (i) mixing a pre-measured amount of the first insecticide with a pre-determined amount of water to form an aqueous solution and spraying the tree with the aqueous solution approximately ten days following step (h) when no rain is predicted; (j) mixing a pre-packaged amount of the third insecticide with a pre-determined amount of water to form an aqueous solution and spraying the tree with the aqueous solution approximately ten days following step (i) when no rain is predicted; (k) mixing a pre-packaged amount of the second insecticide with a predetermined amount of water to form an aqueous solution and spraying the tree with the aqueous solution approximately ten days following step (j) when no rain is predicted; and (l) mixing a pre-packaged amount of the third insecticide with a pre-determined amount of water to form an aqueous solution and spraying the tree with the aqueous solution ten days following step (k) when no rain is predicted.
