  It's been an odd year for them, for some reason and the recent hot spell seems to have been the cause of the leaves browning off. If that's a fairly new planting, then I suspect dryness at the roots is the problem, so, if you're on free draining soil, put a couple of buckets of water on it.

  I went and looked at mine,  just Sorbus aria, not a cultivar. One is in the same state as yours, I mowed more leaves than grass later on. The other 2 are fine.

  It's not a disease or an infestation and I wouldn't consider using something that kills indiscriminately in my garden. Everyone to his own choices but you might like to think about what a 'bug' is and which beneficial 'bugs' are now dead
