② The main diseases include bacterial shot hole (late March), rust (April-May and July-August), gummosis (April-May and August-September), and leaf curl (March-May), etc. Attention should be paid to winter orchard cleaning (5 degrees Baume lime sulfur at 300 times dilution), and during the growing season, spray carbendazim at 600 times dilution, mancozeb at 1000 times dilution, and thiophanate at 1500 times dilution once each to protect the fruit from infection by pathogens.
