Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spraying With Distillates
Introductory Nora - The spotting of oranges results in considerable losses to grow ers of this fruit, and many causes have been assigned as producing it. Some of these alleged causes certainly have no relation to the trouble at all. Spots can be produced by mechanical injury, or by chemicals used to kill insects. Commonly one can readily distinguish between the spots due to either friction, fumigation, or distillate spraying; and can also distinguish these from Spots caused in other ways. Growers usually fail to realize the possibility of a variety of causes, and assign the whole difficulty to one or another of the real or supposed sources of the trouble.
Spraying with distillates has probably caused more loss by Spotting than any other one thing.
