Cool wet weather
ideal for apple scab

gets brown rot first, then
passes it on to the good fruit. spray program

Because of this, John when yeu consider thatin
Yorston, plant pathologist south Okanagan growers
with the ministry of agricul-
ture, recommends ‘that all .
cherry-growers apply ‘a
Brown Rot spray now, and ©
consider a follow-up spray
just before harvest.

Many problems are be-
ing experienced due to the
cool wet weather this spring.
The most important one in
the Kootensy area is the
perennis! enemy, Apple
Scab.

Primary infections have
been seen in several orchards
in the Creston “area. Other
areas such as Balfour, Nelson
and Castlegar have some
severe infections.

An orchardist should
now check his trees very _
closely for‘the characteristic
olive green to‘ black ‘infec-.
tions on leaves and fruit. If;
you do have infections, it is
very important to apply
sprays throughout the rest of
this season whenever there is
a scab infection period.

Brown Rot blight was a
problem on many types of
stone fruits this spring. This
is now causing severe fruit
rotting problems in the south
Okanagan where the cherries
are now ripening.

Anyone with cherries
knows that there has been a
very heavy drop this year.
This was likely due to the
poor weather and poor pol-.
lination.. However, some of
this fruit that should frop, is
not dropping. This ripens
ahead of the good fruit and

Rot,.and that area does
this problem. The Koote:
Brown Rot problem.
