Abstract

Root-knot nematode can frequently be controlled successfully by treating infested fields with a soil fumigant.

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

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

Worms in prunes: Damage in the 1950 season result of attacks by several pests

Comparisons of daytime and nighttime soil and air temperatures
