CONTROL OF GRAPE PEST. 



Tlie grape leaf-folder, a small 

 "worm'' which folds portions of grape- 

 vines over itself, feeding within this 

 slielter, can be controlled satisfactorily, 

 say entomologists of the Department of 

 Agriculture. The pest is the larva of a 

 brown moth. Sjiraying regularly with 

 arsenical solutions, crushing the larvae 

 by hand in the folded leaves during the 

 growing season, and burning all dead 

 leaves and trash under the vines in the 

 fall are the Control measures recom- 

 mended in a recent publication, Depart- 

 ment Bulletin No. 419. 



A satisfactory arsenical for use in 

 combating the leaf-folder is arsenate 

 of lead. This may well be applied in a 

 fungicide, such as Bordeaux mixture, a 

 single application thus serving as a 

 treatment for disease and other insect 

 j^ests. The first application should be 

 niaile shortly after the blossoms fall 

 in the spring. This should dispose of 

 the first brood of grape leaf-folders 

 effectually, but, if the pest appears 

 later, the application should be re-

peated. It is advisable to burn the 

 dead leaves in autumn, because the in- 

 sect winters over in its ]»u])al stage in 

 the ground litter. Several parasitic 

 enemies of the insect have Ix'cn dis- 

 covered. They are ])articularly \ alu- 

 able in destroying the pujia*. 



The grape leaf-folder is distributed 

 tliroughoiit the Ignited States, but is 

 most troublesome in the central and 

 middle Atlantic states. It attacks both 

 wild and cultivated grapes and a few 

 other plants, including the Virginia 

 creeper. It is injurious to the fruit of 

 the grapevines attacked, since it de- 

 stroys the foliage at a time when this is 

 most needed to ripen the fruit properly. 

 Often as much as four-fifths of the 

 foliage is destroyed. 



The moth, of which tiie grajic leaf- 

 folder is the larva, has dark brown, 

 opalescent wings, bordered witli white. 

 The body is black, crossed by two white 

 bands in the female and one in the 

 male. The egg is extremely minute. 

 The fully grown larva is about an inch 

 in length, yellow-green on the sides 

 and somewhat darker above, with scat- 

 tered, fine, yellow hairs on each seg- 

 ment. 



The larva begins folding the leaf
