BLACK ROT IN
KENT GRAPES
Russell E. Wilson Cooperating
With State PathOlOgist To
Control The Disease
SPRAYING is IMPORTANT

In view of the severe prevalence
of black rot in many of the COM
merciaI grape vineyards in Kent
county last year, spraying demon
strations for the control Of this
disease are being conducted this
season in three different vineyards
under the direction Of DR.. T. F.
Manns, plant pathoIogist and soil
bacterioIogist Of the Delaware ex-
pertinent station, in cooperation
with county agent Russell z. vii
son The vineyards which have
been selected for this purpose are
those Of Daniel Mercer west OF Do
yer. and John W Taylor and Sam
uel 8finner IN the Magnolia area.
These vineyards have heavy car
ry-Over Of black rot which would
have resulted il 4 severe loss 20
the grape crop this year II this
disease had not been checked by
the timely applications Of the
Bordeaux spray In each Of these
vineyards the regular spray sched-
ule as recommended by the exper-
iment station Is being followed, the
pre-blossom spray having been ap-
piled on June Is. The first appli-
cation was made when the new
growth was about one-half inch n
length, and the second spray was
applied at the stage Of vine growth
when the new shoots were from
to 6 inches long. The third spray
was applied al the time when
about ten percent Of the vineyards
were in blossom, and that applica-
tion was designated as the pre-
blossom spray. The next applica-
ton of Bordeaux in the regular
five-spray program for vineyards
will be made when the grapes have
passed the blossoming period, and
the last application will be given
to these vineyards when the grapes
are about the size of garden peas.
In these next two sprays the 6-12-
100 Bordeaux with pounds of ar
senate of lead will be used, as was
the case in the predecessor appli-
cation. Unless weather conditions
later in the season are favorable
for rot development, these five
sprays are expected to carry these
VINEYARDS through The season with
satisfactory control of this dis
ease. In heavily infected vine
yards. however, it is almost impos-
sible to secure a complete control
of black rot in one season, but by
following the spray program care
fully each year. this disease can be
successfully checked and held un-
der control.
