Quality and care of men's shirts
by Harriet H. Prato, Mary Ann Morris
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Price may be a poor criterion in judging the performance of garments: lower-priced shirts surpass higher-priced shirts in durability and color-fastness.
Grazing mixed conifer forests
by Barbara H. Kosco, James W. Bartolome
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Grazing on the 13 million acres of mixed conifer forests in California could provide an income through grazing fees, reduce fire hazard, and enhance tree growth—while providing more efficient livestock production for foothill ranches.
Eutypa fungus causes grapevine dieback
by Amand N. Kasimatis, William J. Moller
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
It has been shown conclusively that a grapevine dieback disease is caused by the wound pathogen
Impact of now insecticides on mites in northern California almonds
by Marjorie A. Hoy, Norman W. Ross, Don Rough
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The use of NOW insecticides in northern California almond orchards can increase pest mite populations significantly.
Effectiveness of Osmocote fertilizer influenced by placement and dosage
by Ruth A. Coleman, Tom Mock, Tok Furuta
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Irrigation system, irrigation frequency, and use of supplemental fertilizer determine the effectiveness of controlled-release fertilizer for the culture of plants in containers.
Chemical control of seed-borne diseases of wheat and barley
by Dennis H. Hall, Beth L. Teviotdale, Albert O. Paulus
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
When alkyl mercury compounds were prohibited as treatment for seed-born jdiseases of cereals, tests were begun to find effective controls that do not contain mecury
Environmental influences on corn hybrids
by John D. Prato, Jack P. Orr, Franz R. Kegel, Thomas E. Kearney, Everett F. Nourse
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Single- and three-way-cross hybrids, and differences in soil types and climate, have made single-environment testing of corn hybrids inapplicable for variety evaluation. Growers must test varieties under their own growing conditions before making selections.
Effects of basket design on cooling and holding strawberries
by Frank G. Mitchell, Gene Maver
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Strawberries packed in solid-molded baskets take slightly longer to cool than those stored in open-mesh baskets. However, increased moisture condensation in solid baskets does not affect incidence of fruit rot.
Irrigating new avocado orchards
by Albert W. Marsh, Roy L. Branson, Sterling Davis, C. Don Gustafson, Ralph A. Strohman
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Efficient water application depends on precise knowledge of water needs and use by trees.
Prompt handling reduces processing-tomato losses
by Adel A. Kader, Leonard L. Morris
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Mechanical damage to tomatoes during harvesting and handling is an obvious cause of losses, but delays in delivery and processing may cause additional losses in quality.
Pinching azaleas chemically
by James R. Breece, Tok Furuta, Henry Z. Hield
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
In tests at Vista, California, three chemicals for pinching azaleas showed promising results.
