New Peach Borer Control Using Ethylene Dichloride Emulsion
U S D A researchers unveiled a new method to kill peach borers using ethylene dichloride emulsion sprayed at the base of trunks. The device measures the proper amount for free application with a high-pressure nozzle, and soil mounding helps trap fumes. The remedy works in cool weather and costs little per tree. In North Dakota tests, cracked corn and ground barley yielded similar daily gains for fattening steers, with barley needing more per 100 pounds of gain.
