Questions Of The Week

Q-What are the relative costs of
granular and liquid heptachlor
treatments for alfalfa weevil con-
troll?
A--The liquid spray will cost
around $3.50 per acre. and the
granular treatment will cost from
$3.50 to $500 per acre. However
the granular treatment has many
advantages. 1t can be done anytime
in late February or early March
when equipment and labor are free.
1t is applied before alfalfa growth
starts, so there is no possibility Of
toxic residue Since growth has not
started, the passage of equipment
over the field will not harm the
stand. And equipment is used which
usually is already available on the
farm.
