 recent results of experimental v/orlc carried on by the Cornell Experiment Sttitic; 

 bailed to show aixy significant differences betv;een soil applications or spray 

 applications on ;!/ield, red color, size of fruit, shoot grov.'th and set. There ..■ 

 no report on the effect of this method of applying nitrogen en the groiTbh of- 

 -^rass or c^ver crop in the orchn^'c'. 



It v;nuld appear tliat until more experimental evidence is obtained to 

 indicate the possible benefits of nitrogen sprajdng, the grower must make his 

 decision as to the method used, on the basis of cost. If he figures that hp ca. 

 fertilize his orchard cheaper by spraying, it may pay him to try it,
