DUSTING costs less than li- 
‘ quid spraying. Dust- 
ing materials cost more than ma- 
terials for liquid spraying, but 
this is more than counterbalanced 
by the big saving in time and labor, 
less cost of the duster, and much 
smaller depreciation, repairs and 
operating cost. 
Dusting differs from spraying 
chiefly in that Insecticides and 
Fungicides are applied in a pow- 
dered form; dry instead of wet. 
Water merely carries the active 
ingredients to the plant, where it 
evaporates and leaves a dry pow- 
der. Spraying requires 50 lbs. of 
water to carry 1 lb. of poison to 
the foliage. In dusting air is the 
carrier; it is ever present and does 
not have to be pumped and carried. 
The chemicals used are funda- 
mentally the same with either 
product.
