Abstract

In avocado tree culture, one of the important problems is to maintain a healthy root and top growth at all times.

Also in this issue:

Ground-water overdraft: Antelope Valley with limited water resources subject to condition of overdraft on ground-water

Drainage and reclamation: Network of observation wells in Coachella Valley permits anticipation of possible drainage problems

New heat tolerant lima bean: Plant breeding program developed new variety of standard lima bean suitable for interior valleys

Russeting of bartlett pears: Experiments in 1953 indicate some factor other than copper in fire blight control is cause of russeting

Streptomycin for plant diseases: Tests indicate streptomycin or dehydrostreptomycin to be effective against plant pathogenic bacteria

Effects of pesticides in soils: Field experiments conducted in coordinated study of effects of insecticide absorption by the soil

The grape mealybug: A dormant season parathion spray reduced infestation to 1% at harvest

Cherry fruit sawfly: Ddt or lindane in pre-bloom spray controls pest on cherries, plums

Corn or barley for laying hens: Feeding trials with laying hens indicate barley used as grain in ration is as efficient as corn

Bacterial canker of stone-fruit trees in California
