Diseases, insects and plants
Diseases and insects can cause
a significant amount of damage
to plants. In many cases it becomes necessary to use pesticides. Sometimes the cure can
cause as much damage as the
problem if label recommendations are not followed.
Pesticide damage to plants appears in a number of ways, but

occurs most often as:
Burn –Appears on the tip or
margins of the leaf as necrotic areas or the entire leaf surface may
appear burned, or the roots can
be burned.
Chlorosis- Appears as curling,
crinkling, or cupping of the leaf.
Stunting-Reduction in size of
entire plant or certain parts (fruit,
flowers, roots) while rest of plant
appears normal.
Abnormal Growth-A stimulation of excessive growth on
either certain parts (aerial roots,
suckering) or the entire plant.
Usually the new growth is
most likely to show damage
when sprays are applied. The
following are general rules or
guidelines to help reduce plant
damage from pesticides.
1.) Do not apply a pesticide to
plants that are stressed. Avoid
spraying under extremely hot,
sunny conditions. When air or

plant temperature is approximately 90 degrees or higher,
damage will likely occur. On
bright days, leaf temperature
may be 5-15 degrees higher
than the surrounding air, thus increasing the possibility of injury.
Avoid temperature extremes, either high or low.
2.) Do not apply pesticides
under conditions which will not
promote drying. Plants sprayed
when cool, humid conditions exist for extended periods will remain wet for long periods of time
and increase the possibility of
injury. Never spray plants when
they are in need of water. Wilted
or dry plants are extremely sensitive to spray injury.
3.) Wettable powders are usually safer to plants than liquid
pesticides because they do not
contain solvents. This disadvantage of wettable powders is
the objectionable residue on the

New business discussions included main street flower pots, yard of
the week, and concert concession committee. Mayor Weatherby
reported that the City has increased the plant exchanges from three
times a year to every quarter. The Chamber and city split the cost
of the artificial plants. City Manager Rushing stated that the subject
of live trees was presented to him, however live plants had been
tried in the past an failed so it was agreed that artificial plants would
be the best solution. President Melanie King appointed Vaughn
Anne Thomas and Sharon Holly to work on the main street pots.
Action on yard of the week will be postponed until the next meeting
to check on weather conditions. The President appointed Shirley
Johnson and Julia Beck as a committee to arrange concession sponsors for Under the Neon summer concerts. Two immediate sponsor
volunteers include April Lilly and Thursday Heritage Club. Open
dates will have to be checked.
The President asked the Board members to be on the lookout for
entertainers for Under the Neon concerts.

4.) Almost all aerosol formulations of pesticides will
cause plant damage if applied
at less than the recommended
distance between aerosol nozzle and plant. The distance
usually recommended is 18-20
inches. In some experiments it
was found that almost all of the
aerosols tested were damaging
to plants when applied at eight
inches.
5.) Study the label and any
brochures that are available
concerning the particular pesticide to be used for rates, application instructions, and plant
damage information. Do not
overdose. Clean out sprayer,
hose and nozzles after each use.
