controlling black knot 1 the surgical treatment of aneoted parts an essential in control iltthls type ot treatment several t tures should be kept in mind a that the fungus is perennial in diseased branches bv that one crop of fungous spores the means by which the disease spreads matures when- the young knots turn green in color c that a second crop of spores matures very early in the spring on old black knots therefore all knots should be pruned out in february or march branches should be cut sev eral inches below the visible swelling all pruning should be oonectedi and burned because it has been proved that the spores jot the fungus ripen on the brush pile if allowed to remain there a second inspection shottldbe made in the fall and any new knots that have formed during the summer should be cut out 2 spraying to prevent new infections spraying is necessary in addition to pruning in order to get best results we would suggest that the first application consisting of lime sulphur 115 be made in march or april just before the buds swell- a second application consisting totllme sulphur i 40j shduldbeinadi in may before the youjig knots become green in color the cutting out of
