How to reduce white moul

Little known
about white mould
We can tell you, very
little about white mould.
We all know it can reduce
a 40 bushel per acre white
bean crop to 10 bushels
per acre. We know that if
you spray with a
fungicide, sometimes you
can drastically reduce
the amount of damage.
The problem is that you
cannot eliminate the
white mould.
Where is it apt to be a
problem? In white bean
fields that have dense
foliage - those fields that
are filling in the rows.
What causes it to
develop? The disease
needs 16 to 24 hours of
continuous moisture.
This .can be dews or rain.
Hot dry weather breaks
the disease cycle.
Can you accurately
predict when or what
fields need spraying?.
No. The spray is a
preventative control. The
spray must be on the
foliage before the white
mould spores land on the
plants. The only guidance
we can give is that if you
spray and it turns wet,
you have received 10 days
of protection. If you spray
and it turns dry, the
disease will not develop.
Then you will, have a real
good crop of beans and
can afford the spray.
We agree it is a vel y
poor- way to make a
reco"mmendation.
However, .until we can get
more research funds for
this problem our method
of making recom-
mendations will not
change.
If you decide to°spray,
there are a number of
products that can be
used. One year of
research has pointed .out
that to date Benlate arid
aseout are the
preferred products.' Both
can be applied with
ground or aerial equip-
ment. The total cost of
spray -acre is about $18.
for chemical and $5. for
application.
Alfalfa research
highlights
At the recent alfalfa
meeting, Guelph
Professor, Bob
Fulkerson, brought out
several points in regard
to alfalfa management.
Potash is vital to
maintain a stand and to
produce yield. Often it's
been applied too late.
Ideally, it should be
spread by mid August so
that it has a chance to be
taken up by the plant
before the fall rest
period.
It could take 500 to 600
pounds of actual potash to
replace the potash taken
out in a normal crop year.
The soil can replenish at
least one-half of this
amount. The rest must
come from commercial
fertilizer. Clay soils,
naturally produce, more
potash each year than
lighter soils.
At Guelph, a good top is
a ,most important factor
in winter survival. Soil
temperature is warmer -
around a plant with a
good top: Top growth also

provides a channel_fpr the
escape of toxic gases
whip accumulate under
the enemy. However, it's
wrong for us to expect a
stand to last forever. We
should be ready to plow
after we've taken one
cutting. in the seedling,
year and three cuttings in
each of the next 'three
years.
Fulkerson would, buy
uncoated seed, if he had
the choice. His reason
was simply economics.
The coating didn't seem
to have much value and
coated seed was more
costly. It would have
taken 14 pounds of coated
seed per acre to equal the
10 pounds of uncoated
seed that John Vander
Eyk used on his field.
The rate of seed to use
might vary from farm to
farm. Heavier seeding
rates were needed on
heavy soils, like the
Haldimand clay near
Cayuga. There was no
need to go to heavy
seeding rates if one could
get stands with lower
rates. It is much easier to
get good seedling stands
if the soils have been built
up because of fertilizer
applied previously on a
corn crop.
The Guelph Professor
admitted that he" wasn't
too keen on spraying
legume seedlings. Even.
Embutox set the crop
back and sometimes the
weeds weren't advanced
enough to be controlled.
In looking to the future,
he 'predicted more con-
cern with insect damage
on alfalfa especially
aphids. Potato Leaf
Hopper was a problem
last year. Insect
problems have been less
in 1979 because of the
cooler weather.
He also expected to see
Verticilium Wilt make -an

Would you like to learn
about a fascinating (and
habit-forming!) craft?
Are you between the
ages of 12 and 26 years
(as of September 1,
1979) ?
If the answer is "yes"
to both questions, they
you are invited to become
a part of the 4-H
Homemaking Club in
your .community. It is a
fun way of'learning and a
terrific, way to meet new
friends.
Th'e upcoming
"Needlepoint" 4-H
project, which will begin.
in September, involves a
total of at' least seven
meetings. Members will
learn and work seven
needlepoint stitches on a
sampler which will then
be made into coasters, a
wall.hanging or a pillow,
Instruction on the
selection of colour
roject
schemes and how io
create and transfer
original designs onto
canvas will also be given,
You may also have the
opportunity to make a
"free choice" article,
Have you ever thought
about n.eedlepointig
napkin rings, belts, key
tags, pin cushions, book
covers and tie backs? It is
possible.
Sound interesting? We
hope so. Those interested
in becoming a member
(whether you be a girl or
boy, living in town'or• in
the countr i) should
contact Grace Bird or
Brenda -Kisyk at the
Ontario Ministry. of
Agriculture and Food in -
Clinton at 482-3428 or
Zenith 7-2800 in regards to
finding the nearest club
for you or for more in-
formation about 4-H.
