Insects Hit Early To Guard Marion County Gardens
Marion County gardeners are advised to treat cabbages with 3 percent DDT dust every 10 to 14 days to counter cabbage looper and worm damage. An 8 percent DDT dust helps potatoes every two weeks. A mix of 3 percent DDT dust and copper dust or spray controls potato diseases and leaf hopper. Aphids respond to a nicotine sulfate spray in soapy water, reapplied every 4 or 5 days. The four spotted fungus beetle threatens berries and fruit. a 1 percent rotenone dust or spray is effective and safe on harvest crops, applied every 5 or 6 days through berry season.
