Use a rose systemic product once a month in June, July and August. Systcmics keep many pests at bay and also feed roses the nutrients they need for healthy growth and flower production.

"They are the small, usually green insects that mass on, or near, the flower bud. They feast on the sugar the plant produces, robbing it of needed energy. A good systemic also helps control them. Organic control methods include spraying with insecticidal soap or a strong stream of water or releasing predators such as lady bugs." The strawbctTy root weevil is a pest that eats little notches out of the leaves. Goodspeed says. Unfortunately, strawberry root weevil deliver a double whammy. While the adult is out munching leaves, the larva is chewing the roots in the 5 ground. Again, a systemic helps, but it may be necessary to apply another product for complete control. A couple of products that are registered for roses include Pestkil Rose and Rhododendron Dust, and Onhcne.

Goodspeed adds. This includes removing any weeds or grass from around their base. Roses do not like to compete with any other plant materials. Generally they are considered to be the wimps of the plant kingdom. They are pretty wimps, but wimps just the same."

The state has the worst infestation of grasshoppers in eight years and of crickets in nearly astating insects. Some of the hardest hit counties ate Tooele, Juab, Millard, Sanpete, Sevier and Box Elder, and most other counties have pockets of infes- sixty years. and Mormon "Grasshoppers crickets have plagued many areas of Utah since the pioneers first arrived more than 150 years ago." says Lyle Holmgren, USU Extension agent in Box Elder County. The vast, undisturbed conditions of many parts of the state make it a perfect breeding and hatching ground for these dev If left unchecked, the voracious insects can destroy landscapes and APHIS has been laying down small amounts of poison on BLM lands in the worst hit areas. Agricultural producers may be eligible for federal or slate assistance if their fields border public lands and the infestation is heavy at least eight insects per square yard for backyard gardens, rangeland intended for cattle, and farmer's crops. Many grasshoppers and crickets breed and hatch on public lands, then migrate to private property. Aerial spraying is an effective way to fight them, but the federal Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service lacks funds this year for much spraying on public lands. Instead, grasshoppers. Utahns may call their county USU Extension agent, who can help determine the grasshopper count. Farmers may also call the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to see if they qualifor government help. fy A shortage of federal funds makes it more important for property own- - tation. 4) ers to wage their own fight against grasshoppers and crickets, notes USU biologist Edward (Ted) Evans. Most grasshoppers are still young and should be hit right now," said Evans. Crickets, meanwhile, have reached adult stage and are moving from public lands into adjacent farm crops. A good approach is for the farmer to lay down a chemical border around his fields. Extension agent Holmgren suggests the following approaches for Rangeland Aerial grasshoppers: which usually casts about $5 spray, an acre for a minimum of 5,000 acres. The insecticide most commonly used is Malathion ULV, applied eight ounces per acre. The best time to spray is during the first three weeks of June. Cropland ground or aerial spraying. Ground spraying is usually more expensive, but there is less chance of killing insects such as bees. Malathion and Dursban are two common insecticides used on agricultural croplands. Lawns and gardens. As soon as the insects are seen, spray with Dursban or Malathion on turf and ornamentals, end Malathion on vegetables. need to work Communities together to control grasshoppers," says Holmgren. Otherwise, if one person is spraying but neighbors are not, the grasshoppers will continue migrating from adjacent property. Eggs are killed when exposed to cold, he said. To expose the eggs to cold, in the fall lots and fields should be tilled, lawns should be raked and flower gardens turned over in the fall. non-targ- Investmants - Coins - Gold & SHvw Button P.C.G.S.
