Dry Weather Brings Red Spider Menace
Sacramento California July 15 Severe red spider injury may occur before season end unless control measures are followed by Field Entomologist Theodore J D Urbans of the Department of Agriculture. Hot dry weather quickened spider development affecting almonds prunes peaches hops strawberries and other crops. Dusting with Gry sulphur helps some orchards but when pests are abundant liquid spraying is needed. Sulphur burn risk exists on hot days. recommended lime sulphur limits are one and a half gallons per 100 gallons water or five pounds dry lime sulphur per 100 gallons water, with one percent lime sulphur solution plus six pounds wettable sulphurs per 100 gallons water. About three pounds paste spreader boosts spray efficiency directed at lower leaf surfaces.
