Speakers Describe Pear Pest Control At Ukiah Meeting
Over 40 attended the University of California extension service event in Ukiah. Dr E L Proebsting reported many county orchards on deep bottomland without permanent cover show little to no response to nitrogen, phosphorus, or potash, and advised testing fertilizer in small blocks. Dr Harrd Madsen urged exact following spray directions and early spider mite control, while noting no pear psylla remedy yet. A delayed dormant spray with lime sulfur and oil plus parathion or malathion may help. A film on psylla life cycle aired, and Dr O Reilly discussed pear diseases, with Griggs addressing pear tusselings. Bruce Bearden cited streptomycin dusts as effective for blight but not backed by Miller Amendment tolerance.

One was placed at the Potter Valley depot at the Charles Tomlin ranch and the other at Willits at the Leonard Munson ranch. It is hoped these machines will boost soil conservation work in these areas.
