Prevent Melon Loss by Spray for Anthracnose Control
United States Department of Agriculture notes spraying melons with Bordeaux mixture protects vines from anthracnose. Florida saw growth from 800 acres in 1918 to 3,400 in 1919 under agent supervision, with 0.94 dollars per acre per application. Severe rains aided disease spread, yielding high market losses as 80 to 100 percent of melons showed rind decay on some loads.
