DUSTING FOR THRIPS 
The easiest and most efficient means of 
controlling THRIPS is to dust the foliage of 
the plant with 5% DDT. Begin dusting 
when plants are in third leaf and continue 
about every ten days to,ytwo weeks until the 
spikes start to show color. Best results 
will be obtained when the dust is applied to 
plants while the dew is still on them- 
SPRAYING FOR THRIPS 
1 rounded teaspoon of 50% DDT 
¥ teaspoon of Dreft 
1 gallon of water
