TOLD OF ORCHARD SANITATION

Letters Explaining Spray Service Sent
Out by County Agent to Growers
Copies of the first edition Of orchard
spray notes for the 1929 season, pre-
pared by Dr.. J.. F. Adams, plant path
Smyrna times., 1929-03-27

oiogist Of the University of Delaware
and the State Board of Agriculture,
were mailed on Tuesday of last week
from the office of Kent County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, to the three hum
dred fruit growers in Kent county who
have been receiving this spray service
for the past four years. One of the
main points being called to the atten-
ton of the fruit growers at this sea-
son Of the year is orchard sanitation,
which should be practiced in order
that the maximum efficiency of the
spray materials for insect and disease
control may be secured. In the case
Of apples and peaches, all mummles
should be removed from the trees, and
either buried or burned, as these
mummies are the source of black rot
and bitter rot. All of the old wood al
So should be taken off and burned as
many insect pests hibernate under It
during the winter months. AS the IN
cations are that the carry over for ap-
pie scab will be greater this season
than last year, it is very important
IndI
orchard cultivation by April 1 in or
der that the old leaves in which the
scab passes the winter may be cover
ed. In regard to the spray for peach
es at this time, DIR. Adams states that
the major pests to be considered are
the leaf curl, scale, and red mite. For
the control of only the leaf curl, the
peach growers are advised to use the
commercial lime sulphur (32 degrees
Baume) at the rate of Is gallons to
185 gallons of water, or the Bordeaux
mixture of the 2-4-50 formula. If the
scale and red mite, however, are pres
ent in addition to the leaf curl, it IS
recommended that the oil sprays be
used with the Bordeaux MiXture( (2-4-
SOY, or with any of the sulphur sprays
if they are known to mix satisfactorily
All commercial oil sprays should be
used as recommended by the compan-
les which compound them, and those
growers who plan to make their own
oil emulsions are advised to follow the
formula as given in the spray sched-
ule. In using these oil sprays, it IS
very essential to spray from the
ground so as to cover every scale in
sect, as these scales for the most part
are found on the under side of the
branches. AS matter of caution, the
growers are warned to not use any
broken down oil emulsions or miscible
oils that have settled out, as this free
oil will seriously injure the trees. It
is also not advisable to spray during
freezing weather, as all spray mater
ials gradually weaken after being ex-
posed to freezing temperature, and the
original strength of the materials be-
comes too poisonous for the wood with
the result that injury occurs under
such conditions.
