- Error
| LEAF DROP is induced by the shortening days and cooling nights temperatures of fall. |
| WEEDS seem inevitable following rains. Neglecting controls worsens the problem. |
| CITRUS FRUIT SPLITTlNG is due to rapid expansion of inferior, summer injured fruit. |
| FALL BLOOM OF CITRUS sometimes occurs particularly on growth-stressed trees. |
| MESOPHYLL COLLAPSE is a sudden wilt or drop of leaves provoked by weather shock to tender foliage. |
| FUNGUS DISEASES IN FLOWER BEDS is significantly worsened by over-watering and more troublesome in repeatedly planted beds. Treat with appropriate fungicides. |
| WORMS IN VEGETABLE & FLOWER GARDENS necessitate an attentive vigil and prompt controls. Bacillus thuringiensis is effective. |
| FUNGUS DISEASES IN OVER-WATERED W1NTER LAWNS - Run sprinklers in the morning, only as often as necessary to maintain good growth and mow only when grass is dry to minimize spread. |
| SPROUTING PECAN NUTS can occur during warm fall weather. Discard, due to bitter taste. |
| COMPLETE WINTER LAWN OVERSEEDING by mid - November for best establishment. |
| COMPLETE MOST VEGETABLE & FLOWER GARDEN planting this month. |
| REDUCE WATERING FREQUENCIES to avoid drowning roots inducing root disease. and allow dormancy to occur, which makes plants more freeze resistant. |
| HARVEST PECANS & ALMONDS when outer husks split open and nuts loosen. |
| ALLOW DORMANCY TO OCCUR to increase freeze tolerance to cold tender plants. |
| DON'T FERTTLIZE FREEZE TENDER PLANTS until next spring. |
| FERTILIZE WINTER LAWNS about monthly to maintain good color. Nitrate fertilizers give best cool-season response. |
| PREVENT WINTER WEEDS by applying pre-emergence herbicides, before seeds sprout. Don't apply where seeds are to be planted for up to 5 months. |
| DON'T PRUNE TREES UNTIL JANUARY. |
