WeeviI Nav
Damage Local
Alfalfa Crop

The alfalfa weeviI is expected
TO do severe damage TO alfalfa
in all Maryland counties this yeal
except Allegany and Garrett
warns Ted Bissell, University Of
Maryland extension entomologist
Therefore, he says, farmers
should get their spray equipment
in order. The first cutting of al
falfa may also be damaged by the
meadow spittlebug and the pea
aphid. The potato leafhopper
causes damage to later cuttings
of the crop.
All of these insects may be con.
trolled by timely spraying with
insecticides, Mr.. Bissell says. He
recommends using heptachlor,
malathion lindane, methoxychlor,
toxaphene or dieldrin for the var
ious insects and crops. The en-
timologist says to always follow
the manufacturers instruction in
using these insecticides.
Fact sheet 81 Spraying Hay
Crops for Insects" a university
publication, gives recommends
tons for spraying alfalfa and
other hay crops and lists princi-
pal insects that infest hay crops.
Fact sheet 81 is available at the
county agents office.
The European corn borer, an
other Maryland pest, damaged
an estimated 664,000 bushels of
corn in the state last year. Mr..
Bissell says the best way to con-
troll the corn borer is to destroy
old corn stalks. The stalk should
be plowed and covered with soil
by May 1 for best results.
Cutworms also damage many
crops in the spring. They are
particularly bad in sod land pre-
pared from crops, and the best
time to control them is before
planting. Mr.. Bissell recommends
using toxephene dust or spray.
Dormant sprays should be APP.
piled before buds open to control
these scales and Bissell recon-
mends using three gallons of SUI
perior type dormant oil to 100
gallons of water for spraying.

Treat Seeds
Chemically
To Kill Fungi

Many types of organisms that
cause plant diseases are seed
borne. 1t is for this reason, says
DR.. L. o. Weaver, University of
Maryland extension plant pathol.
ogist, that vegetable growers and
home gardeners should treat their
seeds with chemical fungicides.
Chemical seed treatments pro-
tect seeds and seedlings from
fungi and bacterian in the soil.
Many gardeners find when their
crop is not coming up, that the
seeds or seedlings have rotted.
The reason for this is that organ
isms in the soil attack the seeds
as they lie in the ground or soon
after termination. Chemicals or
seed protectants offer consider
able protection when busted on
the seeds before planting.
Chemical fungicides for treat
ing seeds may be purchased at
seed dealers or local hardware
stores he said. and unused chem
icals may be kept for several
years.
The seeds and chemical are
shaken together for 80 seconds
coating on the seed. Seeds are
then ready to plant or may be
stored until the next planting.
Many seed companies now sell
treated seeds, DR.. Weaver said.
If the seeds have been treated, it
will be indicated on the package.
In treating seeds, always follow
the instructions that come with
the chemicals.
Large quantities of seeds such
as used by commercial growers
may be treated by the grower in
a seed-treating jar, drum or with
small concrete mixer.
