SPRAY NOTES TO
GRAPE GROWERS

Spray notes in regard to the pre-
blossom application of Bordeaux
mixture for grape vineyards have
been sent this week from the office
of County Agent Russell Z. Wilson
to the grape growers in Kent county
and in the adjoining areas as a
means of calling attention once
more to the importance Of this spray
in the control of those insects and
fungOus diseases which may be pre-
valent at this season Of the year,
This application should be made
when the new shoots are from , 10
~ inches long, or at the stage ol
growth when not more than 10 per
cent of the blossoms are out For
this spray the growers are being ad-
Vised to use the 6-12-100 formula or
Bordeaux, which calls for 6 pounds
of copper sulphate (bluestOne) ana
70 pounds of hydrated lime to 100
gallons of water, to which should be
added pounds of the dry arsenate
of lead as a control for the berry
moth.
This spray should be followed
with another application of the same
materials just as soon as the vines
have passed the blossoming stage for
further protection against the black
rot and other diseases, and such in
sect pests as the berry moth, leaf
folder, root worm and rose bug. In
case the blossoming period should
be delayed for more than Il week.
however, it is recommended that an
additional spray be applied at this
time.
Following the after-blOssOm per-
iod, the next application, which Is
known as the Today spray, calls Tor
the use of the same materials as
heretofore mentioned, and it should
90 on lust before the grapes touch
each other in the clusters, or when
they are about the size of garden
peas. If leaf-hOppers are trouble
some at this time of the season, me
otine sulphate (Black Leaf 400
should be added at the rate of l pint
to each 100 gallons of spray mix
ture.
In securing a satisfactory control
of the grape diseases and insects
which are common to this section OF
the country it is very essential that
the vines and clusters be thorough
ly sprayed throughout the entire
season. This not only includes ofli-
cient spraying machinery with
pumps that will maintain and deliv-
er the spray at high pressure, but
the arms and nOzzles must be ad-
iusted and manipulated so that the
spray material comes into direct
contact with the vines, leaves and
nlncfnrs
