The home orchardist should use diazinon 50 WP at 1 to 1.5 tablespoons per gallon of water or Imidon 50 WP at 1 to 1.5 tablespooas per gallon of water. Applications Ap-plications should be repeated every 10 to 14 days through Aug. 20. CEDAR CITY - Home orchardists who have not sprayed their apple and pear trees to prevent wormy fruits should spray now, according to Iron County Agent Lynn Esplin. Codling moths are the adults of the common "worms" which infest apples and pears. These moths become active in the late spring at which time they lay their eggs. The key to successful control is the proper timing of the sprays. |
