John Kempf shares how he's approached orchard pests in his home orchard this summer.

Yesterday he found hundreds of Japanese beetles. Then he put out a foliar. Today he found 3.

The goal is to change the plant's biochemistry to make it unpalatable to pests.

First Foliar Recipe:
✅ PhotoMag
✅ Rejuvenate
✅ Pinion (for kicks)

Within 48 hours, he observed 0 aphids. Repeated it 5 days later, and the leafhopper pressure disappeared

Second Foliar Recipe:
✅ PhotoMag
✅ Rebound Boron (high rates). Rebound Boron mobilizes really well as a foliar, unlike many other sources of Boron.
✅ HoloCal (high rates)
(would include Rejuvenate if it hadn't gone out earlier)

Japanese beetles almost entirely disappeared after.
