Problems With Leaf Curl
Peach leaf curl reduces the amount of leaves and fruit produced by peach trees. The disease costs the United States 2.5 to 3 million dollars annually. However, it is believed that the effects of the disease are preventable. If the correct sprays (usually lime sulfur) are used correctly, a 98% yield of healthy fruit is obtained. If trees are not sprayed with specific chemicals early enough, or if the tree is treated after the host tissue is infected, treatment is ineffective.
