CONTROL OF COOLING MOTH
County Agent Russell f. Wilson Gives
Advise for Effective Control Of Insect

Advise for Effective Control Of Insect
For the past six years the fruit
growers in Kent county have received
each spring notices from the office Of
County Agent Russell L. Wilson i'll
regard to the emergence of the adult
codling moths in order that tie dates
may be determined for applying the
second summer spray as al effective
control for this insect which is caus-
ing considerable damage to the apple
crop in many sections Of the country.
Larvae Of the colding moth were plac-
ed in small wire observation cages
this year in apple orchards Of Ar
thur Bowman, HE. Coverdale, F. w.
Richardson, H. c. Richardson, Henry
Ridgely, J. [. Soper, W. L. Smith,
Ernest B. Raughley, J. II. Richter, I'd
Todd, and N. w. Taylor. These cages
have been inspected at frequent inter
Smyrna times., 1928-06-27

walls during the past four weeks by
County Agent Wilson and H. G. But
Ter, Assistant Entomologist, who is in
charge Of the insectary which was
constructed at Camden, Delaware,
early this spring for the purpose of
conducting life history work on a
number Of orchard and vineyard in
sects. The emergence of adult codling
moths is occurring in some of these
cages, indicating that with the com
ing Of warmer weather the maximum
emergence will take place within a
few days, consequently, the apple
growers are being advised to start
their spraying operations at once in
order to have this particular spray
completed during the first week in
June. In the sixth edition Of orchard
spray notes, prepared by DR.. j. F.
Adams, Plant Pathologist of the Uni
versity Of Delaware and the State
Board Of Agriculture, which accom-
panied these codIing moth notices
mailed to the growers on June 4, spec
ial emphasis was placed on the inn
pOrtance Of this second summer spray
as a control measure for this pest, Us
well as for the curculio, and for such
diseases a. scab, frog-eye leaf spot,
fruit spot, bitter rot and blotch, all of
which must be considered at this time
For this spray it has ben recommend
ed that the growers use the dry-mix
because it has less possibilities Of
burning the foliage TO russeting the
fruit than the commercial lime-sul-
phur. This dry-mix should be used at
the rate of so pounds to 200 gallons of
water, to which should be added 8
pounds Of arsenate of lead for all late
varieties Of apples, and 6 pounds for
the early varieties. Where growers
continue to use the commercial lime
sulphur, however, the strength can be
reduced with safety to IL gallons
to 200 gallons of water, with the
amounts of arsenate of lead in the
same proportions as stated above,
with the addition of 10 pounds of lime
for all early varieties.
In those orchards where bitter rot
and apple blOtch has been trouble
some the growers are advised to use
the Bordeaux Mixture at the rate of
pounds Of copper sulphate, pounds
Of hydrated lime and pounds Of lead
arsenate for spraying late varieties,
and reducing the amount of lead to
ia 1-2 pounds to so gallons Of water
for the early varieties Of apples.
These spray notices which We're
sent out to all the fruit growers this
week also contained letter from Dr.
I'll ". Dozier, Entomologist Of the
Delaware Experiment Station, in re-
gard to the control measures for cod
ling moth control, in which it was
stated that the adult moths lay their
eggs from 8 to 10 days after emerg-
ence, making it very essential, there
fore, that the apples be thoroughly
covered with the arsenate Of lead
spray if an effective kill is to be Sc
cured when these worms hatch and
start to eat their may into the young
fruit.
