Sucking Insects 



The most prevalent sucking insects 

 are the aphis (plant lice), leaf hop- 

 pers, various scale insects, mealy 

 bugs, thrips and the lace bugs. All 

 have sucking mouth parts and damage 

 the plants by sucking the plant juices. 



These insects do not chew the leaf, 

 so poisons on the leaf are not effec- 

 tive. They must be combatted by a 

 contact spray, which closes their 

 breathing pores. Evergreen Spray 

 seems to be most effective for this 

 class of insects. 



Chewing Insects 



The chewing insects have biting 

 mouth parts and injure the plants 

 by eating portions of the leaf or 

 stem. Poisons, such as the" calcium 

 arsenate or arsenate of lead are ef- 

 fective, as are also the newer non- 

 poisonous (to humans) substances, 

 such as Rotenone. In spraying care 

 must be taken to cover every portion 

 of the plant, both upper and lower 

 leaf surfaces, so that no matter what 

 part of the plant is attacked, some 

 poison will be consumed. 



Blights and Mildews 



Blights and mildews are really plant 

 diseases and while not caused directly 

 by insects, plants that have been 

 weakened by insect attacks are very 

 subject to them. As with human dis- 

 eases, an ounce of prevention is worth 

 a pound of cure. Clean culture, plenty 

 of space between plants, to provide 

 free circulation of air, and prompt 

 spraying with Bordeaux Mixture or 

 some other good fungicide at the first 

 sign of attack are the best controls.
