Pest control notes from Ames Iowa on spraying crops
Jantar over each hill and the sudden discharge of spray under pressure of 154 to 260 psi. Leaves are tossed and every loss is noted. Insects attack watermelons and cantaloupes. Last year we sprayed 176 melons. This year two engine driven sprayers are planned to cover at least 80 fields. The Agricultural Extension Service at Ames will send practical guidance for home and field use. Cost is under one dollar per 2 for labor and materials. Store treated areas in flyproof bins or barrels. Prevent breeding by sanitation and proper disposal of garbage. Use septic tanks and flyproof food stoves to reduce disease risk.
