NEW METHODTO
SUBDUE TREE
BORER
Paradichlorobenzene has proved
very effective in the control of the
neach tree borer. If this marerial
s applied in the right manner and
at the proper time 90 per cent to
100 per cent control can be expect
ed. This method of borer control .
aas been thoroughly tested and 1
growers are advised to use it >
-egularly each year
In the experience of the U. S. 1
Bureau of Entomology, Fort Valley :
Beorgia, paradichlorobenzene can i
oe used on trees four years of age !
and older with safety However :
f two and three-year old trees are
oadly infested, one-half ounce ol
oaradichlorobenzene can be used ■
with slight chance of injury to the
trees.
For trees four and five years of
age three-fourths of an ounce of
oaradichlorobenzene should be ap
oliecl to each tree. For trees six i
years of age and older a full ounce
of the chemical should be applied.
For very old trees with large trunks
an ounce ancl a fourth of paradi- i
shlorobenzene should be applied. :
Paradichlorobenzene should be
applied between September 25 and I
Dctober 10, in North Carolina. :
Phis date of application must be ’
tlosely followed if best results are
to be obtained. ! '•
Scrape away gum from trunk of <
tree and make the soil level and I
apply the crystals in a continuous
■ing about an inch wide and about
in inch from the trunk of the
tree. The crystals should not be
placed too far from the tree and!
tare should be observed to | <
n oid pushing any crystals j >
