STEM-END ROT LOSS
To citrus Growers May be Prevented
by Controlling Scale.

Trees infested with scale insect!
! and containing dead wood that har
borst the fungus causing stem-enC
! rot. are especially liable to have theil
fruits attacked by this disease. H. e
Stevens, at one time plant pathol'
ogist at the University Experiment
Station, but now county agent in Lee
County, says that such trees should
be Immediately freed from scales by
spraying with a good contact insecti-
eide, such as soaps or oils. This is es-
Isential because the scales are an i'm
portant factor in developing stem
end rot.
1t is known that the presence of
scale insects favor the development
of the diseases. While they cannot di-
rectly cause the disease, they seem to
induce a condition in the fruit where
, by the rot may develop if spores of
fungus and warm. humid conditions
are present. Stem-end rot develops
Der of scale insects clustered about
the stem end or under the calyx
They seem to weaken the fruit or
form wounds thru which the fungus
enters and later causes the fruit to
drop or decay. A close watch should
be kept over the trees for scale in
sects. Where they become abundant,
a thoro spray should be made with
SOAP or oil emulsion
1t is important to kill the scales
that cluster around the stem end of
the fruit and particular attention
hould be given to thoroly cover the
fruit with the spray. This spraying
may have to be repeated once or
twice.
Stem-end rot makes it's first ap-
pearance in late summer or early fall
when the fruit is approaching ma
turity. 1t often causes considerable
loss of fruits after they are packed.
1t is decay of the fruit which be-
gins at the stem end and finally in
wolves the whole fruit. A severe
dropping of fruits is usually the first
indication of the disease. The drops
appear yellowish at the stem-end and
may be somewhat softened at the !
point. In a few days a small, brown
or coffee-colored spot develops
around the stem end and this grad
hally enlarges until the entire fruit
is rotted. Where the disease is severe
in trees, fruits are frequently picked
hat appear to be perfectly sound
which later develop the decay during !
shipment or in storage.
