Cotton insect control debated at New Mexico meeting
Cotton farmers from Dona Ana Eddy and Chaves counties in New Mexico and El Paso County Texas attended a State College briefing by T P Cassidy of the U S Department of Agriculture. He urged dusting with Paris green and sulfur and noted yields near Yuma Arizona rose as much as 116 percent using the method. A second mix, calcium arsenate with sulfur, ranked second in effectiveness. Dusting advised when 12 to 15 injurious hemipterans are found in 100 sweeps, with 15 pounds per acre applied every seven days until numbers drop. The session was sponsored by the Extension Service and the College Biology Department.
