Описание: Excerpt from The Control of Peach Brown-Rot and Scab

During the past few years the Bureau of Plant Industry has endeavored to develop a fungicide that could be safely used on the peach during the growing season to prevent some of the diseases of the fruit and foliage. Various copper compounds in both liquid and dust form were tested without satisfactory results. Experiments with sulphur in various forms Showed that the soluble sulphids were even more caustic than Bordeaux mixture, and no encouragement was obtained from the work until the so-called self-boiled lime sulphur mixture was tested.

In the experiments of 1907, the results of which were published in Circular No. 1 of the Bureau of Plant Industry, it was found that self-boiled lime-sulphur could be used as a spray on the peach without injury to fruit or foliage. Brown-rot infections were held down to 10 per cent of the crop, while 73 per cent of the fruit on the unsprayed trees rotted. The same treatment prevented the peach scab, or black-spot, and some leaf diseases.

Experiments conducted by the writers during 1908 at Marshallville, Ga, Bentonville, Ark, and Neoga, Ill., verified the previous years results and gave sufficient data to warrant the recommendation of this mixture for general use in peach-growing districts where brown rot and scab are prevalent. The results of the 1908 experiments.
