Fish Oil as an Adhesive in Control of the Grape Berry and Codling Moths

Abstract

A brief report is given on preliminary work with fish oil as a sticker of lead arsenate used with Bordeaux mixture and dry lime-sulphur. Great possibilities are indicated for its use in the early pre- and after-blossom sprays in controlling the Grape Berry Moth and in the calyx and first cover sprays on late apples in control of the Codling Moth. On account of its sticking the lead arsenate on the fruit for such long periods caution is given against using it in the later sdravs.
