Abstract

Sprays of standard lead arsenate for first brood grape leaf folder control and parathion dusts for second and third brood controls have generally given the best results in trials carried out during the last three years.

Also in this issue:

Two-price system for barley: Analytical study of economic and administrative aspects of a probable dual pricing program indicates increased returns

Mechanized grape grafting: Portable machine developed for bench or field grafting of grapes saves time and eliminates the need for skilled labor

Crown blight of cantaloupe: Experimental plots established in Imperial Valley to refute or confirm observations made in earlier studies of disorder

Frost protection by sprinklers: Use of overhead sprinklers for frost protection on low growing plants tested on blueberries in Santa Cruz County

Russet on Bartlett pears: Neither sprays nor dusts applied during the cluster-bud and bloom period increased russeting in tests during 1956 season

Scaly bark disease of citrus: Nine-year study of seven older orange orchards indicates advance of psorosis may be faster than is generally believed

Fumigants for citrus nematode: Several fumigants available for treatment of old citrus soil for control of nematode before replanting with young trees
