Abstract

Greenhouse and field studies of a disease of lettuce that has caused considerable damage to commercial plantings in California revealed the relative toxicity to lettuce of several fertilizers.

Also in this issue:

Lemon industry in California: Market for fresh lemons and market for lemon juice products essentially one economic market with interlocked problems

Natural radioactive isotopes: Soil atmospheres high in radioactivity when compared with the open atmosphere due to releases by soils and rocks

Growth regulating metabolites: Gibberellin compounds derived from rice disease-producing fungus exhibit powerful plant growth regulating properties

Milo for laying hens efficient: No significant differences between corn and milo in rations for laying hens were found in two on-the-farm feeding trials

Rose clover yield and quality: Applications of superphosphate increased forage production over 300% and protein content 70% in Placer County trials

Nitrate in lemon soil cultures: Nutrient experiments show increased nitrate concentrations improved tree growth and yield but with a loss in fruit size

Inheritance of certain fruit and seed characters in watermelons
