Purpose of Lime SuIfur Spray
Lime sulfur, as a dormant spray, is
used for the San Jose scale, Blister
mite and Peach Twig borer as fol-
| lows:
San Jose Scale and Blister Mite
On the apple and pear trees the
! two insects are controlled by one ap-
plication just at the time the leaf
buds show signs of opening. This time
is important for blister mite control,
but for the scale the application may
be made earlier.
For San Jose scale use lime sulfur
testing 33 degrees Baume at the rate
of one part to eight parts of water.
For blister mite alone dilute l to II.
In using the dry lime sulfw use the
maximum amount recommended by
the manufacturers. The manufactur-
ers should state on the label the pro
portions equal to the 33 degrees
Baume test.
Peach Twig Borer
Lime sulfur ! to 10 plus arsenate of
lead lbs. to the 100 gallon is recog-
nized as most efficient for the control
of the peach twig borer, or if the lime
sulfur is not needed for fungus troub-
le nicotine sulfate q pint to 100 gal
Ion water will kill the borer and con-
troll the plant lice as well. Apply
just as the buds show slightly pink.
Later applications may be necessary
where the infestation is heavy
Relation of Plant Lice to Dormant
Sprays
Wherever feasible. retard the spray
as late as possible and combine with
it nicotine sulfate so as to kill the
young plant lice that are just hatch
ing. 1t is more economical to control
plant lice at the time of the delayed
dormant and calyx spray than to wait
until they have become serious and
there is much more foliage to cover
with the expensive nicotine spray.
1t is the general belief that the lime
sulfur will kill the eggs and young
plant lice, but such is not the case.
This belief is brought about by the
fact that normally only two percent of
the eggs hatch As for the young
lice, only those that are a few hours
old will be killed by the lime sulfur.
