County Ext. Chairman
> - With the warm weather
tbit we have had there is a
possiblity of aphids building
up on small grain, gardens
and shrubbry. One of the
best ways to control aphids
is for you to spray Malathion
at the rate of lVi pints of 57
percent EC to the acre. For
the material to really be
effective air temperature
should be above 55 degrees.
We would certainly suggest
that you check to see if
aphids are attacking your
plants and if you do find
them in susbstantial
quantities, spray them.
For those of you that have
had problems in getting
stands of peanuts in the
past, there is a material on
the market this year that
yoitfnight like to add to your
v seed. The name of it is
r sTitavax. It is sold as a
wettable powder and we are
suggesting that you use 3 oz.
to the 100 lbs. of seed. The
best time for this material to
Jbe applied is when the seed
)»re being treated as you can
get a much better coverage.
We believe that this
gnaterial will help the
emergence of peanuts if it is
applied properly. This is
especially true if the
peanuts have a tendancy to
be a little weak in
germination.
One of the things that we
Should do to control
Southern Stem Rot in 1976 is
deep plowing and fully
covering old stubble to
prevent a build up of this
disqpse. We should cultivate
flat* to avoid throwing soil
f projjnd the plant and have a
goqj leaf spot control to
present leaf shedding. Also
good rotation over the
coming years with cotton,
cord, grain sorghum and
small grain will help to
present this build up.
.Chemical control of
Southern Stem Rot will be
much more effective if you
Usejthese cultural practices
yeafly.
