Ife will apply three other such sprays twixt here and -Martinsurg. What they are trying to do is to squeeze out some of the bloom stage sprays and then use a mercury compound in the calyx stage and thus hope to control scab more economically by using jest the pink and calyx scab sprays. He thought, e“maybe we can do without the pink spray after we get more information on this type of spraying.”
Of course, the ultimate goal is a reduction on total spray costs and a reduction in spray costs per bushel produced. Dr. Goldsworthy was using a 15-foot horizontal .boom just high enough from the ground surface as to insure overlapping of the spray from each of 'the nozzles placed 1” inche-. apart along the horizontal boom. He stated further that such booms should be tailored to fit the individual orchard.
