Abstract

Forage production on improved dry-land pastures fertilized with nitrogen and phosphorus was increased tenfold over untreated pasture during the mid-winter period of feed shortage, in a recent study with sheep at the Hopland Field Station.

Also in this issue:

Deciduous fruits: Trends and prospects as influenced by population and national income studied

Yellow clover aphid on alfalfa: Pest not ruinous to state's alfalfa industry but production costs increased by frequent field inspections and treatments

Biological control: Natural enemies of aphid in California sought in European, Mid-East countries

Chemical control: Insecticides when properly applied will give effective commercial control of pest

Resistant plants: Alfalfa variety resistant to aphid attack and adapted to desert areas planned

Prune harvest methods, costs: Comparative study made on efficiency of various types of labor-saving equipment used in 1954 prune harvest season

Effects of irrigation on the growth and yield of cotton: Amounts and timing of applications influence lint grade and staple length

Effects of irrigation on the growth and yield of cotton: Fruting, defoliation, lodging, boll opening related to available moisture

Combine used in corn: Two types of gathering attachments successful in harvesting trials in 1954

Field corn pickers: Tests indicate two operational factors have important effect on field losses

Hybrid corn trials: Effect of summer temperatures on corn maturity in Santa Barbara County
