Show J t UINTAH BASIN STANDARD. March 31. Those in the know say spray now or pay later Although you cant see or hear them, aphids, mitea, and acale are already plotting the overthrow of your fruit tree. They are holding went meetings and planning their bomb strategy in tiny snack-fille- d shelters around your garden. Most aphids, mites and acale overwinter on trees in the egg stage, explains Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension hortieulturalist. As the weather starts to warm, and the leaves and flowers begin to grow, they emerge prepared for their onslaught Some people dont think it makes sense to control these insects and pests now, when most oftheir damage is done later in the year," Goodspeed says. However, now, and in the next couple of weeks, is the best time to reduce the populations ofthese pests so they wont multiply and cause problems later in the summer He says the bat control method this time of the year is applying a dormant oil spray to the trees just as the buds start to swell and show a little color. Dormant oils, sometimes called horticulture oils, are highly refined petroleum oils specifically designed and manufactured to control nasty critters. Motor oil, cooking oil, or any other oil is not recommended for application on trees, Goodspeed quips. I once knew someone who applied motor oil to their tree thinking it was the same as a dormant oil. What a mess. Luckily the tree didn't die, but it sure wasn't happy. Dormant oil should be applied to trees just as the buds are beginning Governor & BLM seek advisory council members The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Utahs Governor Michael 0.

Consider these issues if you are thinking about setting up a business in your home. Consider impact on family and home. Having both family and work responsibilities under the same roof may not be as easy as it seems. Family support is vital to any home-base- d business. Family members may be asked to accept more responsibilities or may resent losing space that the business occupies. Determine if there is enough space in your home for production, inventory, supplies, office, records, etc. Develop a business plan. A written business plan includes projected income and expenses. It also includes a marketing plan and a business definition that serve as a guide for promoting and marketing your product or service. The business plan can help you discover where problems may occur. Identify the market You may have a great idea far a business, but do people need orwant your product or service? Identify the customers who will comprise your target market. One advantage ofa home-base- d business is that it can meet the needs ofsmall niche markets. Once you have identified your target market, determine if you can access the market and ifit is large enough to support your business. Identify competitors. Determine who your competitors are and how to successfully deal with them. Determine why customers would buy from you rather than the competition. TCiis can influence how you promote and market your product or service. If you cannot identify any competition, determine if there is really a market for your idea. 'Consider financial issues. Your business plan should help determine if there will be enough cash flow to operate and expand the business. If your money is tied up in accounts receivables, equipment or inventory, you will not be able to meet your monthly bills.

' to break, he says. This is why it is also called a 'delayed dormant oil application. Peaches and cherries blossom first, so the emerging color will be pink. With apples and pears its the green tips of five leaves that first appear. Dormant oil works as a physical poison, actually smothering the overwintering stages of aphids, mites, and scale. An insecticide such as Diazinon or Malathion can be added to the dormant oil which increases its effectiveness. The dormant oil penetrates any waxy barrier on the outside of the insect, allowing the insecticide to kill the pest, Goodspeed says. To be truly effective, he explains that dormant oil needs to completely cover the area of the tree where the pests are found. This includes the entire canopy ofthe tree, including all branches and twigs. Do not apply the dormant oil to the trunk of the tree below the lowest branches. Good, helpful mites, called predator notes, overwinter on the lower part of the tree. These guys help control any bad mites that venture onto the tree later in the year, Goodspeed says. Dormant oil may not kill all the pests out there, but it reduces their numbers and reduces the rate at which they can multiply, he says. Aphids, left untreated in early spring, multiply quickly and protect themselves by curling the leaves around the area they are eating. Most sprays never reach them as they eat in the protected comfort of a curled leaf. 1998- - Pape 9 Equal Housing Opportunity, neighborhood, employ- nt ees, and the character of the home.
