Our Extension pesticide
specialist, Dr. Win Hock, tells us
that a pH in the range of 4 to t> is
recommended tor most pesticide
sprays. You can adjust spray
solutions to this range by buttering
agents on the market. In general,
the insecticides are affected more
severly by alkaline water than
fungicides or herbicides.
To Consider Top Dressing Wheat
At this tune, we are nut certain
how our wheal crop will survive
the winter elements because we
still have March to contend with.
And March, with its freezing and
thawing conditions is one ut the
hardest months on wheat.

In any evenl, lopdressing wheal
with nitrogen will generally result
in an extra 10 to 12 bushels per ere.
This can result in extra profit to
the grower.
The ideal tune to topdress wheat
is just when it begins to "green
up” in the spring. This will
generally occur in the middle to
latter part ot March. However,
wheat can be successfully top
dressed earlier ui March when the
ground is "honeycombed”. Be
cautious ot highly ferule land that
has received a lot of manure ui the
past. This kind ot land dues nut
need additional nitrogen.
Must wheal varieties can use
between 40 and 60 pounds per acre
ot nitrogen. There are tew

To Use Caution With Nylon Hopes
Our safety engineers at Penn

becoming very popular around the

to a spring. The recoil provides
extra pull to dislodge a vehicle or a
