extension plant p~athologiat of N. c.
State College, warned today.
In dealing with the disease, Gar
ris cautioned growers that only three
methods of blue mold control have
been approved by the Extension
Service and other agricultural agen-
cies.
At the top Of the list is paradich-
lorObenZene, the name sometimes alb
breViated to PDB. The crystals may
be applied either as a preventive
measure or as a cure. During the past
three years, this fumigation treat
ment has been tested thoroughly and
found to be effective.
The other two control methods are
spraying with red copper oxide or
yellow copper oxide. While the spray
treatment has been found satisfactory
as a preventive, it has few if any
curative qualities the State College
specialist said.
The recommended controls are *
planned fully in Extension Circular
