More About Peach Leaf Curl

The Department of Plant Pathology ot the New Jerwy Ia periment Station has stated that Curl is easier to control than Kot and Scab in that there is only one generation of germ spores each tear, a habit which presents secondary infection as m The otnci diseases. The matured spore* lodge in the cracks between the' bud scales and lie inact.se all winter. When the buds well the spores sprout and intea the leaf tips and edges. So the infected lea! tkiues to grow, becoming much distorted and often much larger than the normal leaf. Finally the fungus develops spores over the entire upper surface of the leaf. If the apray be applied while the over-wintering spites are in the twigs and bud* and betoie the buds swell, there will be no infection. But if the season opens up rapidly the bud* ma> mi el before the grower has time to put on the spr.ug application. Hut is why it is often done in the tall. 2—2—50 Bordeaux will do the trick. Or I to I' or 1 to 20 dilutions of concentrated lime sulphur will be effective for leaf curl. But if the scale and othr. lung, arc feared, concentrated lime sulphur I to 9 dilution may be used.
