Abstract

The following article is the first of two progress reports on cantaloupe crown blight studies.

Also in this issue:

Frozen strawberries: Study indicates efficiency of mechanical crate dumping in most processing plants

Strawberry fertilizer trial: Tests in new strawberry planting on old potassium deficient apricot land indicated no response to potash or phosphate

Lettuce root aphid: Value of a preplanting soil treatment with parathion proven by tests in 1956

Gibberellin on flower crops: Studies made of response of some commercially grown flowers to applications of plant growth regulating chemical compound

Walnut aphid control: Comparative study of control treatments made during heavy infestations in 1956

Rooting cuttings under mist: Leafy softwood cuttings of paradox walnut hybrids rooted successfully in mist propagation tests during summer of 1956

Improved pastures: Both sheep production and forage yield increased by range improvement

Swine feeding tests: Supplemented cooked garbage tested in feeding trials in Los Angeles County

The development of resistance to hydrocyanic acid in certain scale insects

The stupefaction of red scale, Aonidiella aurantii, by hydrocyanic acid
