State University Spraying or dusting to protect plants from the ravages of insect and disease pests is the best in surance you have against dam age. A good slogan: use the right materials, at the right time, properly mixed; and do a thor ough job of covering all parts of the plant, especially the under sides of the leaves to control sucking insects such as aphids, red spiders and lace bugs. All insects have a life history or cycle. That is, they undergo changes which may occur in four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Or, in three stages: egg, nymph and adult. The larva and the nymph stages are usually the most destructive although the adult stage may also be de structive. In the case of fungus diseases, it is necessary to keep the plants protected at all times. These diseases, represented by various leaf spots of roses, apples and many other plants, produce spores. These spores germinate and attack the plant tissues. If the leaf is protected by a fungi cide, the spores are killed before they have a chance to enter the tissues. Once the diseases gain entrance, they are more difficult to control. These simple examples should serve to show how important it is to keep your plants protected at all times. Many people seem to think that one or two spray ings during the growing season are all that are necessary. On the contrary, this battle against insects and diseases is never ending. For this reason, it is best to follow a regular spray pro gram for all of your ornamen tals, fruits and vegetables. There are many effective spray chemicals available ? some for sucking insects, others for insects that chew food and some combination materials which are effective against both types. Mix all materials according to instructions given on the con tainers. This will insure proper concentration. Observe safety measures by not inhaling spray or dust, by washing hands with soap and water and by storing out of reach of children and pets. Observe residue tolerances permitted on vegetable crops by using the different chemicals as recommended. Your county agent will have a supply of spray calendars for the different crops or can get them for you.
