Amministrazione Provinciale Di Bari. Cattedra Ambulante Di Agricoltura.

Overview

Practical guidelines for combating peronospora, issued as part of a broader campaign to contain the disease.

Inside the book

The text emphasizes the use of copper sulfate, particularly the Cavazza formula with lime, while also mentioning the Menozzi formula with iron sulfate and lime. It details timing and duration of treatments, stressing the need for repetition after rainfall. Sent by G. Briganti to a Putignano consul, the document bears a fine 2-cent stamp.

Why La Fenice chose it

We love how this modest missive distills the experimental spirit of early Apulian winegrowers, putting Cavazza and Menozzi's empirical chemistry into real-world practice.
