Summary

Not available – first paragraph follows:

The problem of spray residues on apricots has received considerable attention the past two seasons largely due to the necessity of applying control measures for codling moth. Without this control the grower and processor are confronted with heavy losses due to wormy fruit and if sprays are applied, there will be minimum amounts of the spray chemical in canned or dried fruit.
