Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the ongoing efforts to combat the codling moth, one of the most pernicious pests threatening apple crops in West Virginia. The author juxtaposes two prominent spraying techniques, detailing the Eastern method of applying several mist sprays throughout the growing season against the Western method, which utilizes a single coarse spray applied with high pressure immediately after the petals have dropped from the blossoms. The author presents data gathered during experiments conducted in orchards across the state, comparing the effectiveness of each technique in preventing codling moth infestations and subsequent damage to the fruit. The book concludes by discussing the broader implications of these findings for apple growers, emphasizing the crucial role of timely and thorough spraying in protecting their crops and ensuring a profitable harvest.
