1TV1-: IWTOItS CONTROL
.MONT POTATO lISi:.SKS
Five factors arc essential to pre
vention and control of potato dis
eases in Oregon crop rotation,
seed select ion. seed 1 real men t,
plant spraying, nod gootl storage.
These practices are outlined by the
experiment station potato special
ists, who also list the following as
minor factors of control:
Kind of fertilizer used, cultural
methods, checking of Insects that
.spread disease, ami use of irriga
tion water. The first five practices
are most to he depended on. All
of them must be considered if, the
grower is to produce potatoes of
high yield and good quality free of
potato disease.
Hesults nt the experiment sta
tion in Corvallis show that morn
than one of thene methods are nec
essary, and that two or more such
as rotation and seed selection
must be employed on each lot suc
cessfully grown.
