Abstract

Dual-purpose — hay and grain — Hooded Atlas barley was created from a lineage of about 5,000 plants grown during an 18-year period.

Also in this issue:

Prune harvesting cost studies: Comparative studies of harvesting with catching frames and with picking machines conducted in Napa and Sonoma counties

Brucellosis in dairy cattle: Whey test accurately detects infected cows and distinguishes between reactions to late vaccination and virulent infection

Variation in milk constituents: Small variations in milk composition may require processing modifications or result in products of inferior market quality

Rhizopus rot on peaches: Ammonia gas fumigation immediately following harvest may provide effective control of disease causing serious losses

Machine to disbud rootstocks: Adapted electric bench grinder facilitates disbudding grape cuttings before planting and avoids later growth of suckers

Control of solar radiation: Housing comfort in both summer and winter can be improved by construction designed to take advantage of solar angles

Potash fertilizer on potatoes: Yields of field-run White Rose potatoes increased materially by potash treatments in fertilizer trials in Madera County

Strawberry leaf miner damage: Effectiveness of natural enemies usually holds pest damage below levels of economic importance in commercial plantings

Citrus mite control: Effective new acaricide of low toxicity to insects registered for use on citrus

Gibberellin on zoysia grasses: Plant growth regulator did not improve establishment of slow growing turf grass in either greenhouse or field experiments

Factors affecting the recovery of hydrocyanic acid from fumigated citrus tissues
