Sorptive dusts on cockroaches: Easily applied compounds harmless to animals and humans effectively control cockroaches and other household pests
by I. Barry Tarshis
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Of 78 compounds screened in laboratory investigation to determine the effectiveness of sorptive dusts for killing and controlling cockroches, two compounds, a silica aerogel designated as SG 67–Dri-Die 67–and a silica gel called SG 77 were outstandingly effective.

Manganese in brussels sprouts: Lime applied to acid soil corrected incidence of manganese toxicity of Brussels sprouts in field tests near Pescadero
by John C. Lingle, R. H. Sciaroni
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Stunted and yellowed Brussels sprouts were observed in many fields in San Mateo County in 1957. The affected plants grew very slowly after transplanting and interveinal yellowing or chlorosis developed shortly. As the plants developed, the older leaves cupped upward and developed small, necrotic spots near the margins. The plants seemed more severely affected while they were young, but tended to outgrow the trouble after a few months. The yields were drastically reduced and maturity was delayed.

Micronutrient concentrations: Effects of soil applications of phosphate, potash, dolomite on micronutrient concentrations in Valencia orange leaves
by C. K. Labanauskas, T. W. Embleton, W. W. Jones, M. J. Garber
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
That the micronutrient nutrition of citrus trees may be changed by continued heavy applications of commercial fertilizers has been indicated by several reports. However, there is very little available experimental evidence from field studies on the influence of soil applications of phosphate, potash, and dolomite fertilizers on the micronutrient concentration in Valencia orange leaves.

Root regeneration by seedlings: Ability of ponderosa pine seedling to regenerate root system rapidly after transplanting is important factor in survival
by Edward C. Stone, Gilbert H. Schubert
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Erratic results obtained in organized ponderosa pine planting programs– some successful, more not successful– emphasized the need for reliable planting systems applicable to California conditions.

Mealybug on apricot: Old pest of grapes and pears is causing new control problem for apricot growers
by Harold F. Madsen, Lester B. McNelly
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Damage to apricots by mealybugs is a relatively new problem as it was not reported prior to 1956. The species involved has been identified as the grape mealybug–Pseudococcus maritimus (Ehr.) –a common pest of grapes and pears.

Weed control in shasta daisy: Costly hand weeding of commercial flower crop reduced in successful field tests with neburon in Santa Barbara County
by Jack L. Bivins, William A. Harvey
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
One of the more promising of the newer herbicides for weed control in commercial flower crops is neburon– l-n-butyl-3 (3.4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea–a chemical low in water solubility and toxicity to man or animals.
