Mthough the data evaluation has not jeen completed, synergistic effects lave been found so that somewhat esser quantities of Difolatan can be ised, thus cutting costs. Dr. Stretch is presently evaluating he effect of the Difolatan-Glyodin ;ombination on yield. Studies will be lone on color, also, and data will be athered from more than one area. &q

"If this works in New Jersey, it )robably will work anywhere," Dr. itretch said. He believes also that there may be I chance of improving disease control )y using two compounds instead of )ne, because several fungi-not just )ne-cause fruit rot. Dr. Stretch also is planning coop- jrative work with Dr. Eric Stone, also )f the Rutgers station, to coordinate hsease control with breeding. "It's possible there may be natural ;ontrol of disease because it has been bund that some varieties of cranberries lon't rot, while others surrounding in apparently disease-resistant type io," he said. He is presently gathering fruit rom apparently disease-resistant ixperimental varieties and extracting he seed so further studies can be nade. DR. STRETCH, a pleasant and inassuming man, joined the staff at he Rutgers experimental station in .962. In the beginning of his career here, he took compounds already )eing utilized for disease control and efined their rate of use. For example, tianeb, used at AVi lbs. per acre, was ater used at 3 lbs. per acre. Dr. Stretch has a small but pleasant )ffice in a modern building constructed ust three years ago. "From November through March, ve tend to be indoor people here at he station," he said. "But from April through October, we spend more ime ; Dr. Stretch and his family live m an old cranberry bog near /incent
