diseases in thp first place one must know the disease to be controlled some plant diseases for instance citfwn gall and wilts cannot be prevented by spraying practices and time money and energy may be wasted if this is not realized in certain diseases one application of spray material gives satisfactory control as in peach leaf curl while in others repeated applications at intervals in the season are necessary 1 e apple scab dif ferent diseases require different control measures and it is onty by knowing them that proper treatments can be appjled the second factor is a knowledge of the materials and strengths to be used serious injury may be caused if im proper materials are applied or if care is not taken to make up proper strengths there are numerous spray materials under various trade names but before usingrthem f armersshould lcnpwwheth- er they have been tried out by the ex- peamehtatstatlons7 and ir rso -arevtlrey- recommended experimenting with new materials is sometimes
