Apple Scab Threat Varies by Variety and Region
Apple scab is a serious fungous disease affecting all varieties, with some varieties notably more susceptible and requiring focused spraying. Variations in susceptibility also occur by region, so growers must assess local conditions and select varieties accordingly.
Horticultural Tips From Planting to Pruning and Sprays
The ground for berry bushes should be well fertilized with manure and plowed under before planting. Spring planting is better for some fruits like cherries. gooseberries are picked with leaves and all, and currants require removing old wood while keeping strong new shoots. Thorough spray applications with lime sulfur and lead arsenate follow bloom. Storage scald on apples may be reduced by oil paper and mineral oil in barrels.
Poison Potato Bugs Control Method and Materials
The article advises immediate poisoning of potato bugs using Paris green or dry arsenate of lime diluted with hydrated lime. Dusts are applied in coarse sacks and work on dew covered plants. Two applications may be needed and a second dust targets young eggs. Liquid sprays use two to three pounds of dry arsenate or eight ounces Paris green per 50 gallons, with lime to prevent foliage burn.
Cleaning and managing a productive summer garden
Agricultural notes advise preventing weeds from seeding and cleaning the garden before planting. Dry carrots for better roots, provide balanced moisture, and plant late season crops like endive kale and lettuce in late July to August. Weeds steal moisture and should be pulled and turned into soil to benefit the ground.
