Synopsis
Spraying: Results of the Season, 1900 presents a detailed look at orchard spraying experiments and their outcomes. Grounded in West Virginia fieldwork, the book compares sprayed and unsprayed trees to show how timing and multiple applications affect pests, fruit quality, and leaf health.
Two long-running divisions of the work explore methods for applying mixtures, testing new insecticides, and evaluating remedies for the San Jose Scale. The text highlights real-world results, including how Bordeaux Mixture and Laurel Green impacted scab and fruit appearance across several apple varieties, with photos and tables illustrating the findings.
