Abstract

Damage to prunes in the 1950 season involved the bud moth, the fruit tree leaf roller, the orange tortrix, the peach twig borer, and the codling moth.

Also in this issue:

Domestic demand for lemons: Studies indicate the increasing demand is influenced by income and temperature

Orchard heater smoke lessened: Smokiness of old-style orchard heaters can be reduced by proper operation and maintenance

Classification of waters: Quality is based on specific electrical conductance, boron and chloride concentration, and sodium percentage

Chemical control of nematodes: Soil type important limiting factor in control of certain plant parasitic nematodes with volatile soil fumigants

Sugar beet spacing trials: About 33,000 beet plants per acre most nearly maintained maximum sugar beet production in Imperial Valley tests

Dry weather fungi: Powdery mildews abundant in California where they thrive in the dry summer climate

Soil moisture, runoff, erosion: Long-term comparative studies on vegetated and denuded plots in typical brush areas of California

Protein intake of laying hens: Two levels of protein in diet for laying hens compared in tests in southern California

Comparisons of daytime and nighttime soil and air temperatures
