Codling moth infestations up: Damage to harvested walnuts increased markedly in northern California during the 1956 season in comparison with 1955
by A. E. Michelbacher, Stephen W. Hitchcock
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Codling moth populations on walnuts vary from year to year but during the 1956 season—in all districts where investigations were conducted—there was a general rise in the seriousness of infestations.

Citrus weed control by monuron: Experiments with urea herbicides for weed control in citrus orchards encouraging but use of the chemicals is restricted
by B. E. Day, R. C. Russell, C. D. McCarty
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The urea herbicide, monuron—3-(p-chlorophenyl)-l, 1-dimethylurea—formerly known as CMU, was registered with a federal residue tolerence of 1 ppm—one part per million—for limited use in Valencia and navel orange orchards during the fall of 1955.

Weed control near grass areas: Soil fumigants and contact spray materials included in series of studies on control of weeds in relatively confined areas
by M. H. Kimball, Boysie Day, Chester L. Hemstreet
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Machine and chemical methods of weed control in relatively restricted areas—flower beds, ornamental trees and shrubs, small drainage channels, parking areas and patios—are not adaptable to most situations or are hazardous to adjacent plantings.
