Abstract

The predatory mite—Typhlodromus reticulatus or T. cucumeris—which feeds on the cyclamen mite brought and held the pest under fairly good control in strawberry fields during tests in 1952.

National and farm incomes: Time-element in relationships of incomes of economic segments and the national income in periods of change

Orchard sprinkler irrigation: Studies show supply of readily available soil moisture more important for fruit growth than type of irrigation

Alfalfa hay quality: Leaf shatter loss greatest when hay is handled at low moisture content

DDT resistant leafhoppers: Malathon outstanding for grape leafhopper control in tests in areas where DDT resistance was present

Nematode on cotton: Root-knot nematode control by soil fumigation profitable in Kern County

Systox on cotton: Systemic insecticide successful in southern California control tests

Walnut aphid study: Shows systox promising material for conditions in northern California

Pests of red kidney beans: Increased yields resulted from proper timing and application of control treatments tested in 1952 trials

Efficiency in fruit marketing: Costs of dumping field lugs and receiver-trucking costs studied in relation to packing-house methods
