FUNGUS DISEASES OF THE PEACH

The brown rot fungus is among the
most destructive of the fungi on the
peach yielding place only at times to
leaf-curl Unlike leaf-curl the brown rot
prevails during warm, showery wealth
er, and with such a weather period is
likely to occur at any time Of the year.
In April, if the mummy peaches are
permitted to remain on the trees from
the preceding year, the fungus may
affect the twigs through the blossoms
and thus cause serious twig blight 1t
is a matter of common remark that the
branches upon which rotted peaches are
found often perish from effect of the
rot fungus The survival of the fungus
in these mummy fruits and the pro-
duction of ascospores from them are
well proven. No one variety seems more
susceptible to rat than others, although
some sorts are more liable to ripen
during rainy weather and then rot worse
The control of rot demands: First care
full removal and destruction of all num-
my rotted peaches in which the fungus
survives second. thorough spraying of
the trees before poisoning as for leaf
curl; third, subsequent spray treatment
with self-boiled limesulfur may be
profitable under certain conditions.
The leaf-curl fungus is at times one
of the serious pests of the peach grow
er. However destructive leaf-curl does
not occur every year. The curl fungus
survives in the buds from year to year.
1t is therefore present each season.
though possibly in varying amount.
Leaf-curl usually comes when cool
weather, with frequent rains, prevails
during March, April, May and June. 1t
is to thhe April weather that the most
serious trouble seems attributable. With
low temperatures and frequent rains
during the early half of that month we
may safely predict an outbreak of leaf
curl. During such weather the fungus
develops rapidly and the new leaves
