Abstract

Field scale tests with young pear trees last year at Davis provided further evidence that the pear psylla (Psylla pyricola Foerster) plays a central role in the pear decline disease.

Also in this issue:

Characters, distribution, and food plants of phlepsid leafhopper vectors of California aster-yellows virus

The relation of pear psylla to pear decline … greenhouse tests

Pear psylla: In abandoned orchards

Control of pear psylla: With oils and oil-pyrethrins

Phytotron modification: Admits more sunlight through plastic panels

Vetch green manure increases rice yields: …Proper depth and timing of incorporation allows maximum results

Granulated insecticides superior to sprays for: Alfalfa weevil control

Field maturity—seed yield—shatter loss for: Potomac orchardgrass and hardinggrass

Evidence of nonspecific transmission of California aster-yellows virus by leafhoppers
