Excerpt from Insecticides and Equipment for Controlling Insects on Fruits and Vegetables

Specifically, this publication deals with the nature Of the chemicals more commonly used to control insects on fruits, vegetables, and flowering plants, and gives information on how to prepare such insecticides for use against many common pests. A section is devoted to a discussion Of spraying and dusting equipment.

Most insecticides will become scarce as stocks are depleted and re placement becomes difficult. It is not only thrifty, but patriotic as well, to use them carefully. Careful application of minimum amounts will do a better job than careless use Of large quantities.

The aim should be to mix the material thoroughly and apply it as a light, even coating to the parts of the plant affected by the insect. Applying the material to the parts affected saves material and insures effective control of the pest.

For more specific information on the control Of any pest, the entomological publications Of the State or Federal Government, or a State or Federal entomologist, or an entomologist Of some other organization, Should be consulted. If the pest is not identified, pre served or dead specimens Of the insect or a description Of its injury should accompany the request for information on control.
