Staff photo Use traps to control ear wigs The European earwig, although a recent import to Ontario, is becoming a serious nuisance to 'homeowners across the province. Attempts to control the pest with chemicals are only marginally successful, but there are other alternatives, says Rick Wukasch, of the Pest' Advisory and Diagnostic Clinic at the University of Guelph. This reddish -brown insect, about 19 mm long (3/4 in.) is easily recognized by the pincers at the end of the abdomen. Earwigs prefer moist, dark, cool places, so they spend most of the daylight hours hiding under things, coming out at night to forage for food. Tender leaves, flower petals and pollen are favorite foods of these in- sects, but they also thrive on decaying material, such as compost and mulch. Turning compost piles regularly will help reduce this breeding ground. "Diazinon and carbaryl are two insecticides used for earwig control in home gardens, but they produce very limited results," says Mr. Wukasch. "The insects travel easily from one garden to a neighboring one, so you can't expect miraculous results from sprays." Traps that appeal to the insects' need for shelter provide the most effective control. Homemade traps can be constructed using two 7.6 cm boards. Make four grooves 6 mm (1 in.) deep and 6 mm wide along the length of the board. Place the two boards together, grooved sides facing in, and secure with a rubber band.

Use about 20 traps on the average city lot. Shake the traps into a pair of soapy water at least twice a week. Tin cans and plastic containers baited with fish oil can be dug into the soil to trap a large number of earwigs. Empty these traps into a pail of water every morning. Although earwigs live and breed outdoors, they oc- casionally turn up indoors, usually because they have been brought in by people. However, they are capable of wandering indoors through cracks and other access points by themselves. If you do find them indoors, don't panic. They don't eat clothing and won't. damage furniture or carpets. "One way to keep earwigs out of the house is to avoid bringing things from outside inside," says Mr. Waukasch. "Shake all cut flowers before bringing them indoors. Check the laundry basket if it has been sitting outside and give your clothes and good shake before bringing them in."

If there is mould on a plant you cannot stop the disease on that plant, but you may be able to prevent the disease from spreading. When you decide whether to spray or not you are predicting the weather. If you think August will be wet you spray, if you think August will be dry you don't spray. Where will the.disease , be bad? (i) Fields that will be most prone to mould are fields that had beans in 1979 and or 1977. Both years we had wet conditions and multiplication of mould. (ii) Any field, even first year beans that has lush growth and is protected from the wind - never has a chance to dry out. What chemical do you use? Four products are registered for use for white mould control. Benlate, Botran, Bravo and Easeout. Materials cost is 16.50 to 20.50 per acre. Application cost is extra. There are some growers bias as to which product is best. Henry Olechowski from R.C.A.T. is testing all four products in 1980 to try and determine if one product is better than the other - however, due to the nature of this disease it will be hard to show differences between products. He also hopes to do some timing trials. How to apply? - Both ground rigs and airplanes are registered to apply these chemicals. Again research is ongoing to try and determine which piece of equipment is best. There are some factors that are known. - Areial application most 11 HWY B GODERICH AT CONCESSION RD 4 • • PHONE 524 9991 GoolaKlt • •-. . • LAST NIGHT THURS.

Ideally 100 gallons of water and 150 psi. This is com- pletely impractical, but the principle of more H2O and more pressure applies. - Ground equipment can spread anthracnose and bacterial blight through the fields if these diseases are present. - However, timing is generally more important than the piece of equipment. Get whateverequipment you can get and apply the chemical on time. When do 1 apply it? - If the weather remains wet the first application should go on at about 1/10th bloom. If the weather stays wet you will need a second application. The fungicides we use are only effective for 10 to 14 days. Finally, Craig Hunter from O.M.A.F. in Vineland hopes to check out the ef- fectiveness of different pieces of equipment.
