A reasonable goal is to protect the panicles within harvesting
reach from mildew. A problem faced by many
backyard growers is how to deliver a fungicide spray
to flowers that are high on the tree. They may lack the
high-pressure equipment and training needed to deliver
the spray past a certain height. One should always be
careful when applying pesticides, and also should seek
professional assistance if there is any question about
doing the spraying work or renting equipment related to
pesticide applications.
