Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists, 1904 In considering the final results of this experiment, several impor tant facts Should be borne in mind: First. The orchard had never before been systematically treated, and only a partial effort had been made to control this insect. Second. The crop was very small, thus giving the fruit very little opportunity to escape attack. The same conditions as to the crop prevailed in an adjoining orchard and although systematic spraying was applied, as has been the case for several years, the number of wormy apples was unusually large. Third. The weather late in May and early in June was very wet, and this may have caused the second spraying to have done a minimum amount of good. Fourth. In the light of the results which Show a very large amount of damage by the second brood of moths, it may be that more effective work would have been accomplished if the third spraying had been made a week earlier in July.
