Excerpt from Experiments in Dusting Versus Spraying on Apples and Peaches in Connecticut in 1921
This dust was used only in the eastern part of orchard No. III, and as no treatment was given until after the-bloom was over and as aphids and red bugs were rather scarce, the nicotine was omitted.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive series of experiments comparing the efficacy of dusting and spraying in the management of apple and peach pests. Conducted in 1921, the experiments utilized a range of treatments including sulfur-lead dust, Sanders dust, liquid lime-sulfur, and dry lime sulfur. Across apple orchards, the author found that spraying tended to be more effective than dusting, particularly for controlling apple scab, while both methods outperformed untreated controls. In peach orchards, dusting with sulfur or sulfur-lead arsenate dust produced a slightly higher proportion of quality fruit than spraying with atomic sulfur, effectively managing both scab and brown rot. The experiments provide detailed insights into the relative value of dusting and spraying in controlling pests and diseases in fruit orchards, offering practical guidance to farmers and orchardists seeking to protect their crops.
