Question:"We are about to apply the autumn dressing you recommended for our greens. We wonder if anything could be added to the dressing to destroy leather jackets which were more numerous than usual this year."
Answer/Response:"The fact that there were a lot of crane flies around this year does not necessarily mean that leather jacket troubles will be widespread. It is, of course, prudent to consider the position. You could either treat all greens to prevent any likely damage or test them at intervals to find out if leather jackets are present. Various forms of testing fluids are available. If treatment is considered necessary the most convenient material for greens is a 5% DDT dust. This should be applied at ½ oz. per sq. yd. preferably in a carrier of compost and not your autumn dressing."
