By CARL B. VAfTDKMAN The effect on apple tree nu ^41011 of spraying a soluble m of, nitrogen known as urea u Green Is the trade name) on the foliage has been under test for six years by scientist at the Experiment Station in New York State. The results seem to indi cate that the practice has main tained yields as well as soil ap plication of nitrogenous fertiliz ers and fcM also contributed to the reduction of the amount of scab occuring In the orchard. Ordinary nitrogen fertilisers are too toxic to spray on apple trees, but urea-type materials (such as Nu Green) hare shown promise. Five pounds of urea (Nu Green) in 100 gallons of spray materials can be used In the petal-fall spray. One of the men in charge of the experiments states that bet ter scab control on the urea sprayed trees may have been due partly to a better nitrogen bal ance in tl^e treee, but the Re sults also indicate a direct in crease in fungicidal effective ness when urea was used in with wettable sulfur and arsenate of lead. The urea-sprayed trees showed better fruit color and less pre-harrest drop than where the fertiliser -was applied to the soil. 4Tlt has been found that apple leaves take up urea at once and begin using it within a few hours, whereas nitrogen applied Lrto the soil may requlre a matter 'of several weeks or longer to reach the leaves, depending upon weather&conditlons. We iwt higi. -Urogen content in the trees and leaves In spring but low nitrogen content in fall. The condition is attained by use of urea sprays, whereas regular soli applications of nitro gen cause high nitrogen content in tree and leaf in both spring and fall, sometimes causing poor color, early drop, and soft fruit. Absorption of nitrogen seems to be more rapid on the under sur face of leaves, due to the leaf hairs which may hold three times as much area as the upper sur face. This emphasizes the need for spraying the under-leaf sur Attorney for Fuchi A DIFFICULT assignment Is that fac ing J.
