Sprays For Both Fungous And Insect Pests
| Home-Made Lime-Sulphur Wash | |
|---|---|
| Lime | 20 lb. |
| Sulphur | 15 lb. |
| Water | 50 gal. |
The lime, the sulphur, and about half of the water required are boiled together for forty-five minutes in a kettle over a fire, or in a barrel or other suitable tank by steam, strained, and then diluted to 50 gallons. This is the wash regularly used against the San Jose scale. It may be substituted for Bordeaux mixture when spraying trees in the dormant state. Commercial lime-sulphur may also be used in place of this homemade wash. Use one gallon of the commercial lime-sulphur to nine gallons of water in the dormant season.
