stocks has been effective. More practical methods employ the use 

 of chemicals. Soil is removed from around the tree and the infec- 

 ted area is cut away and left exposed to the air. Either maneb or 

 ferbam, at a rate of 1 lb per 100 gals, can be sprayed on the in- 

 fected areas. Maneb is^preferred since it is active for a longer 

 period of time in the soil. Application is made in the fall just 

 prior to replacement of the soil around the tree. 



Soil injections of maneb or ferbam around the crown may be 

 effective in preventing infection by the fungus. It is suggested 

 that 1/2 lb per 100 gals be ^applied once a year either in the 

 spring as the buds open or in September. One quart on 2 sides of 

 the tree should be sufficient for trees 2 to 4 years of age. The 

 same quantity on 4 sides of a tree may be required for larger trees.
