County Extension Director John says ticks are busy again in town areas. Entomologist Harold Gunder notes the species can carry spotted fever and tularemia and may cause tick paralysis by attaching to hosts including humans, dogs, and livestock.
Gunderson advises repellents for humans in tick areas and loose dogs to stay protected. For livestock, apply 5 percent carbaryl dust weekly and use 0.5 percent Ciodrin spray at 1 to 2 quarts per animal in pens during treatment. Area treatment calls for 1 pound actual carbaryl per acre on brush and tall growth. livestock may graze immediately afterward. Naiséd Dibrom spray at 4.4 pounds per acre is a valid substitute. Johnson notes the nitrogen rate drives crop response, with water dissolving fertilizer less effective. Watering nitrogen solutions adds little benefit. topsoil moisture dominates.
John Johnson, county director, notes equal yield effects from all nitrogen forms when used properly and in equivalent amounts. He explains nitrogen is available as solid, gas or liquid and forms may be interchanged at equivalent levels for comparable crop responses.
