Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the effectiveness of post-harvest dusting and spraying of peach trees to control the plum curculio. Conducted over four years in Georgia, the experiments detailed in this book demonstrate that adult curculio populations can be significantly reduced in late summer or early fall when they are forced to feed on foliage due to a lack of fruit. By applying arsenate of lead to the trees before the beetles hibernate, their numbers can be materially reduced, providing protection for the next peach crop. The book presents detailed data and observations from field experiments and insectary work, providing valuable insights into the behavior and control of the plum curculio. It concludes with recommendations for post-harvest treatments in cases where curculio infestation has been severe, emphasizing the importance of these measures in protecting future peach harvests.
