Here around Kansas City we've had an extreme amount of Mite Flower Gall on our Ash trees. Much more than has been seen in previous years. I'm aware that not a whole lot can now be done, however i'm interested in recommended treatment for next year to prevent this from occuring. I know that just b/c we are seeing alot of this this year doesn't necessarily mean we will also next. However i'm interested to find out a treatment in case it will be needed in the future.
I've spoken w/ a few people and so far what i've heard is: Treat w/ foliar pesticide app in the spring.. Also have heard that Merit in a basal drench app. might be the ticket. I'm confused to this b/c i've heard so much w/ Merit and Mite infestation following app. So would Merit not be a good choice. A miticide? What do you all recommend?
