Time for Calyx Spray of Fruit
Trees. This spray is primarily for
the control of the first larvae of the
codling moth which make their en-
trance to the apple thru the bios
SONS or calyx end of the apple. To
make this spray application efficient,
the application must occur during the
time when the calyx cups of the ap-
pies are still open so that they can
be filled up with the spray solution.
The proper time to apply this spray
is as soon as most of the petals
have fallen. Failure to spray at this
time usually accounts for a large
percentage of wormy apples in other
wise well sprayed orchards. In this
spray we are also controlling othe
insects such as curculio, cankerworm,
tent caterpillar and apple scab.
The materials to be used for this
spray are the same as for the pink
spray, namely gallon liquid sui
phur and / lib. lead arsenate to 40
gallons of water.
To obtain the best results, a fine
mist spray must be used and every
square inch of leaf and fruit sur
face completely coated with a film
of spray solution. In addition it is
very important that the stream Of
spray be directed into the calyx cups
so as to fill them with the solution.
If this work is thoroughly done at
the right time with the right mater
ials, the fruit will be well protected
until the time of the third foliage
spray which is applied approximately
20 days after the calyx spray.
1t is advisable when applying the
calyx spray to use a nozzle disc with
slightly larger opening than was
used for the pink spray to aid in
more complete filling Of the calyx
cups.
Spray apples, plums, cherries,
pears and currants at this time
