Associate County Agent Warns:
Use Agrichemicals Selectively
“The idea a bug is a bug. or a
weed is a weed, is not good
enough” in determining the
type of control piogram to use,
Arnold Lueck, associate county
agent, warns
Get the weed or insect identi
fied, or take a sample Spiays
are very specific in then use,
he said, and once identification
is established, the recommend
ed spray can be applied
Lueck’s advice coincides with
the increasing national concern
about the environment in gen
eral and the use of the so-called
“persistent pesticides” in paiti
cular. The persistent or “haid”
chemicals are those which don’t
break down quickly and leave
doses in the soil lethal to some
animals.
