Page 8-A Around The Chowan County Farms by Murray L. Goodwin Agricultural Extension Agent Super Market cantaloupe variety has replaced Harper variety as most popular with Chowan County Vegetables Farmers. Saticoy is increas ing in popularity. This infor mation was obtained from a questionnaire mailed to Chowan County fanners last faU. Forty-two of those answer ing questionnaire said that leaf diseases damaged their cantaloupe crop in 1982. Thirty-three per cent bought their damage was over 20 per cent. Over half of Chowan Coun ty farmers sprayed for leaf diseases on cantaloupe. Spraying three times was most popular with Chowan farmers. Most farmers began spray ing when vines were beginn ing to cover ground.

Just as runners begin to form is about the time to start spraying for best results for most years. Bravo was most popular fungicide used followed pret ty closely with Difoltan. Dithane M 45 was used some and so was Manzate. Most farmers sprayed right up to harvest which is good we think for most fungicides. Maneb has a five days waiting period. Harper and Super Market have more trouble with leaf diseases than some other varieties. Not surprising was "Weed Control” as the subject most often checked for discussion at our winter meeting. The trouble is we don’t have a good weed control agent to recommend for cantaloupes. The information in this news article is based on farmer’s questionnaire mail ed out last fall as stated earlier. The number of farmers answering question naire and returning was low. This makes the validity of conclusion drawn not too good. Report on watermelon variety survey will be given next week.
