Excerpt from Connecticut State Entomologist Forty-Fourth Report, 1944 In the control Of orchard pests, one of the important factors is the adhesion Of insecticides to the foliage and fruit. In other words, so -called' 'stickers play an important role. By employing suitable stickers in the spray mixture so that the insecticide adheres well, the number of applications Of spray materials can be reduced without unduly affecting the control Of certain pests of apples. This applies particularly to sprays containing lead arsenate and is of great prac tical importance in the economic production of fruit. In such a reduced schedule the concentration of lead arsenate in the spray mix ture must be increased, and the fungicide used must be compatible with the other ingredients. Satisfactory control Of scab, European red mite, curculiob and apple maggot has been Obtained. The prob lem Of a toxic residue Of arsenic on the apples at harvest Is not acute. The results of these investigations have been published in Station Bulletin 485. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
