Black Leaf "40" Spraying, Etc. 



Continued from page 9 



aphis-control work difficult. Several 

 experiment stations recommend dilu- 

 tions of "Black Leaf 40" for aphis, 

 varying from 1 part in 800 of water for 

 woolly aphis to 1 part in from 900 to 

 1200 for the green and purple or rosy 

 aphis. 



Treatment for woolly aphis: In set- 

 ting out new orchards, spray all nur- 

 sery stock thoroughly, roots and tops, 

 with "Black Leaf 40" one to 800 plus 

 soap (1 pint to 100 gallons of water plus 

 3 to 4 pounds of soap). For woolly 

 aphis on the tops spray with "Black 

 Leaf 40" diluted 1 to 800 plus soap (1 

 pint "Black Leaf 40" plus 3 to 4 pounds 

 of soap to 100 gallons of water), using 

 a pressure of 200 to 250 pounds. For 

 treating woolly aphis on the roots we 

 suggest that the soil be removed from 

 around the trees, sulTiciently exposing 

 the infested area to enable the spray to 

 permeate the soil and reach the insects 

 so as to thoroughly wet them. Spray 

 with the same solution that is recom- 

 mended for use on the tops. Use a 

 coarse stream and apply spray liberally. 

 Don't wait until after the buds have 

 opened before applying your first spray 

 for aphis. Don't wait till the leaves 

 have curled in making later applica- 

 tions. Don't omit the soap when 

 spraying with "Black Leaf 40" uncom- 

 bined with bordeaux, lime-sulphur or 

 arsenate of lead. Don't forget that 

 thoroughness is half the secret of suc- 

 cess in spraying for aphis. 



Combination sprays: In spraying for 

 several pests occurring at about the 

 same time, the matter of combining 

 sprays is one of importance and one in 

 which a considerable saving may be 

 effected. "Black Leaf 40," used alone, 

 will be effective not only against aphis, 

 but also for red spider, apple tingis, 

 apple-leaf hopper and apple red bug. 

 "Black Leaf 40" may be combined with 

 lime-sulphur when used for San Jose 

 scale (when bud tips show green), 

 apple scab, moss, lichens, etc. Iron 

 sulphide when used for apple mildew. 

 Bordeaux mixture when used for apple 

 scab and other fungus diseases. Arse- 

 nate of lead or arsenite of zinc when 

 used for codling moth, bud moth, tent 

 caterpillars, etc. When using "Black 

 Leaf 40" with lime-sulphur, bordeaux 

 mixture or arsenate of lead omit the 

 soap. 



Life Histories. — The four more im- 

 portant species of aphis that attack the 

 apple are tabulated below: 



Green apple - aphis (aphis pomi). 

 Eggs laid at base of buds and on twigs 

 in late fall; attacks buds, young leaves 

 and blossoms. Also attacks pear, haw- 

 thorn and quince. 



Rosy, brown or purple apple-aphis 

 (aphis sorbi). Kggs laid on trunks and 

 larger branches in fall; attacks leaves, 

 tender shoots and fruit clusters. 



Woolly apple-aphis (schizoneura lan- 

 igeia). Eggs laid on elm in fall; at- 

 tacks roots, trunks, branches and twigs.
