CONTROL OF BLACK ROT OF APPLES j(Experimental Farms Note) Black rot is proving to be an im- portant disease of apples in Eastern Canada. It is caused by a fungus which is capable of attacking the trunk, limbs, leaves and fruit. When the trunk and limbs are involved, lo- calized cankers are formed which ex- tend year after year, ultimately re- sulting in the destruction of the part so affected, or materially reducing its productiveness. Affected fruit becoeti- es black, shrivels and finally develops into a dry nrulanny which may hang on the tree for a year or more. The leaves are attacked soon after they unfold from the buds. The first symp- toms appearing on the foliage are purplish spots which gradually be- come brown with a light grey c utre and faintly raised margin,. O,vin.;; tv the fact that the fungus usually gains Y entrance •r tru ce tlu r ugh wounds,: and there has been much winter injury in many orchards during the lase• two years, trees so affected are more susceptible' to attack. Observations :Wade by the • Dominion Field Laboratory of atholog,y at Fredericton, New Bruns:- k -ic w , show aw• that the foUvvt•:ng measur- es tea air -es should be kept in mind as a basis for prevention of the disease, Close pruning e, ,•er110t a all cankers and dead x••• and clean cultivation or ploughing under all dead kavas are commendable practices. All prunings diseased bark and mummies laani,irig on the trees or lying on the ground should be destroyed, preferably by burning, because tlrSti serve tvc a, sourc- es x r -es front which the disease may spread. Pruning wounds or other mechanical injuries that cannot be avoided should be treated with a good disinfectant. such as Bordeaux paint: While there is no positive evidence that standard fungicides such as Bordeaux Mixture and line sulphur; satisfactorily control the disease, it is nevertheless advis- able to keen the foliage and limbs cnn tantly covered with spray to secure, t least partial protection, Attention •.ntrlcl be given to the control of in- ect pests and otherftrngotis and bac- erial diseases which result in wounds hatna•t • seras . y v r aveittrr,s for . irtfec- ion.
