I sprayed my trees with Cu today to prevent some of the fungal diseases. Are there any other preventative sprays that should be used. Does anyone have a recommended spray schedule?

Skeet,

LSU has a schedule in their home citrus guide:

For the most part, I wait until I see a problem with my in-ground trees. The potted plants I sell are sprayed often enough to keep them looking presentable. The truth is that citrus can tolerate a lot of insect pressure without any serious consequences.

Thanks Ned-- I don't use many insecticides except to control the leaf miners and for that I mainly use oil and some spinosad. I usually get most of the swallowtail eggs before they hatch. The fungicide schedule was what I needed.
