Treatment of Gladiolus 
Bulbs for Thrips 
A good treatment to give the bulbs just be- 
fore planting is the use of Lysol solution. 
Mix 4 teaspoonsful of Lysol to 1 gallon of 
water. Soak the bulbs in this solution for 3 
hours or more. 
We have had good success with a spray con- 
taining D.D.T. for Thrip after the bulbs have 
been planted. Start spraying when the plants 
are 6 to 8 inches high, one application every 
10 days, until the buds appear and then the 
spraying can be discontinued. We have 
D.D.T. in the liquid, Pest-B-Gon. Refer to 
page 37.
