Abstract

Cultural practices necessary for strawberry production cause salt accumulation—with resulting injury to the plants—in some areas where the irrigation water is generally considered of good quality for most crops.

Also in this issue:

Pacific coast canned fruits: Report on 1954–55 f.o.b. shipments and price relationships for canned peaches, pears, apricots, and fruit cocktail

Frost protection in almonds: Wind machine studies in 1955 frost season indicate protection in mature almond orchards below that obtained in citrus

Small-nut almonds: Progress in development of varieties consistently producing small sized nuts

Western grape leaf skeletonizer: 1954 biological control program indicates parasitism plus virus disease registering important reduction of vineyard pest

California red scale control: Natural enemies can keep pest under control in citrus groves when given help and in areas with favorable climate

Causes of avocado leaf injury: Certain foliage injury often attributed to insect feeding may actually be the result of some physiological disorder

Quality of dried french prunes: Studies on fruit maturity for influence on yield, quality, time-range for most profitable harvest of interior valley prunes

Rangeland forage: Almost trebled by seeding rose clover and use of sulfur-bearing fertilizers

Insect transmission, host range, and field spread of potato calico
