For a number of years Delaware potato growers have been experiencing a two to five percent yield loss to a disease complex called pink rot. In 1979 University of Delaware Extension plant pathologist Bob Mulrooney began testing a new fungicide, Ridomil, for its ef fectiveness against this disease. Results so far are very promising. Last summer Ridomil gave significant control of pink rot in all treatments as compared to an unsprayed control. This con firms previous results. Mulrooney plans to repeat the Ingenious Wood/Coal Boilers NOW AVAILABLE... WOOD AND COAL BURNING BOILERS DESIGNED TO TIE INTO ANY HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEM This means you can now heat your entire home with wood or coal and since this is an add-on boiler, you can use your present energy source gas, electric, oil or solar, as desired, when not using wood or coal the less costly fuels dur ing frigid weather. The Timber-Eze boilers are engineered using space age technology for squeezing maximum BTU’s of energy from solid fuels utilized in the heat chamber.

But based on his findings so far, efforts are under way to help the manufac turers of the product get it labeled for use on potatoes. Right now the fungicide is used primarily on tobacco. In the past, Extension specialists and researchers at the University of Delaware Agricultural Ex periment Station have tried to identify potato varieties that are resistant to pink rot, but so far this method of control has not been very promising. Another control approach being studied is the use of cover crops and crop rotations to • Non-jamming intermesh ing heavy duty cast iron grates • Automatic dual draft system • Designed and built to comply with the ASME Code • Firebrick lined • Extremely heavy construction • Insulated jacket • 12 and 19 gallon reservoir • 1 Vi ” Fiberglas insulation 3 sides. • Wine color finish 4-H horse club earns honors . q . .. !in County 4-H Horse Ott.

Pink rot of Irish potatoes is caused by several species of water mold. Wet weather near harvest and poorly drained soils are known to favor development of the disease, which has plagued Delaware potato growers since the mid-19605. Pink rot can cause a breakdown of potatoes in the field, resulting in direct field loss. It may also cause apparently sound potatoes to rot in transit, resulting in rejection of whole truckloads of the crop. THE PIONEER IN BRUSHLESS P.T.O. ' ' ALTERNATORS!!
