UNDER FLORIDA CONDITIONS spraying is the 

 most effective method for the control of citrus 

 pests. In the past there have been many failures, 

 and much money has been expended without ade- 

 quate returns to the grower in better fruit and in- 

 creased yields. These failures have been due to 

 various causes, such as improper equipment, ineffec- 

 tive insecticides, arid a lack of a proper spraying 

 schedule. 



This bulletin gives information regarding the best 

 equipment for Florida conditions, and directions for 

 preparing effective homemade insecticides. There 

 is also given a spraying schedule that has proved 

 satisfactory after several years of practical experi- 

 ence and such other information as will enable 

 the grower to control citrus pests in a satisfactory 

 manner. 



Spraying improves the grades of the fruit and in- 

 creases the yield of the trees out of all proportion 

 to its cost, if the work is done properly.
