- “The substance: called Dormant Oil seems to be a .

mystery to. many “people. It’ is hoped that the following
explanation will enlighten some and explode a few myths,
: Petroleum oilshave been used for insect and mite
control on tree fruits for insect and mité control on tree
fruits for over 90 years. They were first used for scale insect
control around 1880 in the form of kerosene-emulsions and
crude | ‘petroleuma, ,
Recommendations for oils as dormant or delayed
dormant sprays have been standard since that time. They

- are applied during the dormant stage to most fruit trees and

ornamentals because they will damage the foliage if put on
during full leaf, and because they are effective in the contro]
of insects at this time. :

Dormant oil is a mixture of oil and a little water with an
emulsifier. This mixture dissolves readily in water resulting
in a milky spray. mixture. If the dormant oil does not turn
water milky when mixed in the spray tank or if the oil floats
on top of the water, it has been damaged and more

: emulsifiers must be added before it can be safely applied to

plants.

Dormant oil is applied to plants strictly for insect and
mite control. The main insects and mites it is applied to
control are: spider, blister and rust mites; all types of scale;
‘mealy bug; and aphids in the egg stage.

Several other insects such as leafrollers and codling

moth are often claimed to be controlled by application of
dormant oil. In actual fact very little control of these insects

ter divorce, death and step-

Laws governing custody
and access differ from state
to state and province to
province. In B.C., the Family

Relations Act is worded so.

anyone — including grand-
parents — may apply to the
court for the right to visit a

Vancouver lawyer.

But unlike parents, grand-

not believe the law should be
amended to increase grand-

that any special category fer

include brothers and sisters.

them, ‘says Jean Hannon,
