Use a large spray bottle if you have just a few plants; invest in a small landscape sprayer if you have dozens of plants to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spray plants in the early spring, just a few weeks after they start active growth. Whenever the lilacs start to leaf out significantly is a good time to start. It\u2019s critical to spray them (both with organic and chemical sprays) well before the problem is apparent. (Fungal diseases usually start showing up on plants in mid- to late summer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat the spray at least three times, about 10 days apart. This should be accomplished before daytime highs regularly hit 80 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please do not use text, photos, or illustrations on this web page, web site, or newsletter&nbsp;without express permission from The Iowa Gardener.&nbsp;Many materials are copyrighted and reuse is violation of that copyright.&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@theiowagardener.com\">Click here<\/a>&nbsp;to request permission to use.
