The Tropical Agriculturist. The Agricultural Journal of Ceylon June 1938

1938

We are convinced that the solution of the problem of the milk supply of Ceylon lies in the improvement of the local breed of cattle in this manlier and not in the importation and acclimatiztion of the imported dairy cow. [...] The substitution of part of the soap by ammonia affects the texture of the spray mixture the precipitate becoming coarser as the proportion of ammonia is increased. [...] The figures given permit of the ready assessment of the size of the plants at the times of spraying. [...] At the time of the first spraying (A) the majority of the plants were at the stage when the stem was elongating and only 20 plants out of the 600 had reached the topping stage. [...] COURSE OF INFECTION The times chosen for spraying the plants in this experiment were based on the results of the experiment carried out by the writers in the corresponding season in 1936-37 (Park and Fernando 1937 b) but they were nevertheless empirical and not based on records of the progress of the disease on plants in the field.
