Abstract

Big vein of lettuce occurs every year in California, especially in the spring crop of the central coastal area where practically 100% of the plants in some fields are affected.

Also in this issue:

Costs of packing fresh grapes: Study shows reductions in costs of marketing table grapes are possible by improving operating methods

Crop controls and 1955 outlook: Shifts in land use pattern expected to follow acreage allotments for 1955 will influence farm incomes

Early sprays for mite control: European red mite on pear trees held in check by prebloom sprays until the summer treatment period

Cooling fruit in fibreboard: New containers for plums and pears tested for their suitability to present packing and shipping methods

Coniferous seedling survival: Poor survival may be due to physiological conditions associated with root-producing ability of planting stock

Stored strawberry plants: August planting in southern California frost-free areas gave crop in 1 instead of 1 1/2 years needed by April planting

Avocado variety investigations: Suitability of avocado varieties to climatic conditions of Riverside under long-term tests in experimental orchard

Avocado rootstock-scion studies: Compatibility between avocado and new rootstocks suitable to California is object of plant program

Chloride toxicity in avocados: Tests show chloride absorption and toxicity vary with the seedling variety and the form of nitrogen

Comparative histology of healthy and psorosis-affected tissues of Citrus sinensis

The effects of zinc and iron salts on the cell structure of mottled orange leaves
