Revegetation of disturbed sites in the Mojave Desert with native shrubs
by Walter L. Graves, Burgess L. Kay, William A. Williams
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Tests of combinations of established aids for five native Mojave Desert shrub species show that some can be established successfully without irrigation.
Delaying almond bloom with ethephon
by L. Todd Browne, George Leavitt, Marvin Gerdts
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Early-blooming pollinator almond varieties treated with ethephon in November bloomed 2 to 6 days later the following spring, resulting in improved bloom overlap the next spring with later blooming varieties.
Cost efficiencies of large-scale integrated dairy production and waste management systems
by Scott C. Matulich, Hoy F. Carman, Harold O. Carter
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Waste-management practices in Chino Basin dairies have sometimes been inconsistent with stringent environmental quality regulations. The impact of waste management on costs is examined by calculating costs for least-cost dairies excluding waste management.
Controlling squash powdery mildew
by Albert O. Paulus, Robert A. Brendler, Jerry Nelson
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Better materials for control of new tolerant strains of powdery mildew are in the offing.
A new entomogenous nematode for pest management systems
by James E. Milstead, George O. Poinar
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Results of tests on populations of a newly discovered nematode, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, show its potential as a biological control agent.
Evaluation of crown planting and direct seeding of asparagus after 15 years
by Brian L. Benson, G. C. Hanna, Frank H. Takatori
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
No differences in spear yield and quality were found between directseeded and crown-planted asparagus after 6 years. The number of viable crowns appears t o be more important than crown area in relation to spear yield.
Response of corn to fertilizer, plant population, and planting date
by Renuka D. Arjal, John D. Prato, Maurice L. Peterson
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Previous studies considered fertilizer rates, planting dates, and number of plants per acre singly. An experiment at the Davis campus considered all three factors simultaneously.
