to control other ovei jr
Insects. In order to Insure good
control of other Insects and
diseases a spray mixture of
malathlon and captan should be
applied according to the follow-
ini' schedule: Pink bud stage,
bloom petal fall state (spraying
during full bloom will kill
pollination insects), first cover
aprey 00-14 days after petal
fall), and second cover spray
00-14 deys after first cover
spray.)
These early spray applica-
tions will help control many
problems which ere not noticed
until later in the season.
PEARS
Fire Blight was a major di-
sease problem In pears In Llano
County last year. Thla bacte-
rial disease Is spread during
the bloom stage by pollinating
Insects. After blooming, branch
tips and developing fruit turn
black and dle> Two spray appli-
cations of Koclde 101, a fixed
copper fungicide during the
bloom stage, one In early bloom ,
and the second seven days later
will help to correct this pro-
blem.
PECANS
Many homeowners have pro-
blems each year with a gall
forming Insect called pecan
phyloxera. This insect causes
galls or knots on newly develop-
ing peoan leaves In the spring.
Spraying with a dormant oil
solution In January or February
will control this Insect as well
as .scale on pecans trees. Other
pecan spray practices will be
published later In the spring.
