’ Borax Prevents

Brown Heart f" In Turnips

‘RESULTS 0F 1936 INVESTIG- ATIONS MOST ENCOURAGING

(R. n. Hurst, Charlottetown Ex- , rimental Station.)

Laboratory trials in 1936 showed that born is the most satisisctory source oi boron ior brown heart control, exceedingly small amounts oi this substance being required by the turnip to ensure its normal de- velopment. Lock oi this obscure chemical in the soil causes brown heart, othewise known as boron deﬁciency.

The average yearly turnip pro- duction in Canada has been es- timated at approximately 40,538,000 bushels. Oi the ten million bush- els produced in the Maritime Pro- vinces, alone, one million bushels are exported each year to the United States oi America. From such iacts it is clear that any con- dition adeversely aiiecting thisy important crop reacts upon our' farming communities and may re-l present considerable financial loss‘ to mnny individual farmers. This: appears even more significant’, when it is known that vast quaiit- l ities oi turnips are rejected yearly ‘ because oi brawn heart, resulting- in ii direct cash loss oi $50.00D,00 . in one single year, an estimatc| bnsed upon rejection at shipping points.

Scientific and iarmlng litera- ture hava had very little to say ‘ about brown heart. In i910 it W85 first mentioned in Canada by the Dominion Botanist who re- ierred to it when speaking before the Select Standing Committee on Agriculture and Colonization. Later, in the year 1928, because oi the serious prevalence oi this disease, the Dominion Botanlst. through the Charlottetown Labor- atory, organized an intensive re- search program ior the purpose oi studying brown, heart. Its pres. enee has been reported also in Europe, the British isles, the United States, Canada and New Zcniand.

This is the season of the year [ when brown heart gives the great- est concern. It occurs mostl "commonly in the larger ‘ size tur-1 nlps. An odd feature oi the disease is that there is no external ‘ indication oi its presence; although I this years observations have led‘, to the belief that the roots or} affected bulbs are lacking mi normal 0r thrifty development.| ‘Typical symptoms are readily re-: cognized as a clearly deitnedi brownish and mottled area sppenr- j lng in sharp contrast with the lighter coloured unaliected tissue. When freshly cut this surface is glossy and has a water-soaked: appearance. ;

The convincing nature oi this year's tests substantiate previous‘ findings and justiiy confidence in] the use oi boi-ax as a preventive ‘ oi brown heart. Borax may be likened to n medicine or tonic, the, normal dose being not less than}

10 pounds per acre and absolutely * no more than 20 pounds. ‘This, ‘ substance, so essential in amali| _ amounts, ls a plant poison and its’ 3 use to excess is highly detrimental. t Oi great interest to our Island

farmers h the iaot that the North

Shore and dunes provide the best. illici- or carrier ior the borax. This exceptionally iins grads oi sandy ensures an even mix and greatly} facilitates distribution over the, land. Because oi the rapidity; lwith which turnip seeds germim: ate the borax is best applied a. iew days beioro seeding. thus avoiding

this chemical. In addition to itne dry sand, such iillersl as hydratedi lime, tine dry earth, flour, and | commercial icrtiliurs may be em-. played with success, using a. me- | clianicai mixer iipposslble, as thor- ough mixing and even distribution‘ are nesessary to escape the poss- 1 ibility oi an overdose. "rhe correct mixture comprises one part4 oi borax u» io parts oi iilier. '

Farmers will be interested to know that this year's experiments confirm the belie! that heavy lim- l ing oi the soil increases the su- 1 sceptiblllty oi turnips to brown heart, and that heavy applic- l atlons oi manure reduce, very materially, the occurrence oi this disease. Furthermore, experiments dealing with the alter effects oi boron on diiierent crop plants in- dicate that it is not injurious to ' potatoes. wheat. oats. barley. clover and timothy following tun‘ hips. A yellowing oi young leaves. sometimes follows the use oi borax but. the condition quickly dis- appears.
