spraying for borers


Hello Iris Growers,
     I would recommend that Anner Whitehead go ahead and spray for the Iris
Borer as soon as a window of acceptable weather opens up.  I know that this
date seems early, but if it is warm enough for the Iris to grow six inches,
it almost certainly is warm enough for the Iris Borer to start hatching and
doing its evil thing.  I know that I will have to spray quite soon.  The
growth of the Irises is probably a better indicator of when they should be
sprayed than the calendar is.
