For years I've used Fruit Tree spray 4-122-8590 to control but never eradicate pear scab. A few years ago I started using just Captan 4-459 because I believed using just a fungicide would be less harmful to pollinators. Now I find out that neither is approved for edible pear. What do I use?
You can use Bonide Citrus, Fruit, and Nut Orchard Spray or Triple Action which are both labeled to treat scab on fruit trees including pears. Avoid spraying when pollinators are in the area to limit contact.
