tSpittlebugs
can cause
heavy damage
to Coastal Ber
muda grass if
they are not
their grass last spring should be
certain to inspect their fields.
During hot weather, spittlebugs
can be controlled by full utili
zation of the grass. Mowing and
removing the cuttings or grazing
in order to prevent a dense mat
of grass from forming in the
field will keep the insect popula
tion in check.
Pine Bark Beetles
Pine bark beetles (black tur
pentine, ips and southern pine
beetles) continue to be the ma
jor insect put in our pines. Ben
zene hexachloride continues to be
the best chemical for control and
prevention of these beetles. Lin
dane (more refined BHC) con
tains the same killing agent (gam
ma isomer) and will give equally
good results. Liquid concentrate
of BHC is the form needed for
bark beetle control. Wettable
powder is not recommended. By
mixing the liquid concentrate of
BHC (or Lindane with) with No.
2 fuel oil (never kerosene) best
results can be obtained.
Rose Care a Necessity
It’s a long, long way from June
to September. For gardens, the
time span may be quite short or
it may be quite long, depending
upon the amount of attention
given to garden plants. Temper
atures may not be conducive to
spraying or dusting plus plenty of
deners prepare roses for fall by
continuing to give almost con
stant care to them. Some authoi
ties indicate the necessity of
maintaining healthy foliage on
roses. The amount of fall bloom
is, seemingly, proportional to the
amount of healthy foliage and
stem growth. Hence, the weekly
spraying or dusting plus plenty of
moisture once a week is essential.
Adequate fertility is necessary
for the strong growth and food
“manufacturing” in the plants.
Apply your fertilizer such as
8-8-8 once per month or your
special rose fertilizer as per di
rection on the package.
