Synopsis
Excerpt from Spraying Apples: Relative Merits of Liquid and Dust Applications
Merits of the two methods must rest upon efficiency in prevent ing the ravages of fungi and in killing insects. Page 239.
The experiments detailed have extended over three seasons. They have included an aggregate of 424 trees; 147 sprayed with liquid; 167 sprayed with dust, and 110 control trees. The number of apples handled totals Results were the same in all orchards in all seasons. Page 239.
The conclusion is fully warranted that the dust spray is absolutely ineffective as a preventive of prevailing orchard fungi, and that it is much less effective as an insect remedy than is the liquid method of applying arsenites. Page 240.

Spraying Apples: Relative Merits of Liquid and Dust Applications
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Beginning in the late 19th century, fruit trees in the US were under attack by a variety of insects and fungi. Orchardists looked to chemical spraying to save their crops. Initially, these sprays were concoctions of toxic liquids and unpleasant powders. The author experimented with the new dust method of spraying, testing it against the traditional liquid sprays. Over a three-year period of meticulously recorded results, the liquid spray proved significantly more effective at controlling the pests and diseases that affected Midwest apple trees, demonstrating its superiority over the dust method. The author's findings stand as a valuable contribution to the history of orchard practices, underlining the importance of tried-and-tested methods in combating nature's challenges to agriculture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334554728_0
