Early maturing, short-stature varieties; careful water management, and moderate use of nitrogen reduce excessive blanking.
Blackline of English walnut trees traced to graft-transmitted virus
by S. M. John Mircetich, James Refsguard, Michael E. Matheron
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Studies show that blackline can be spread from diseased to healthy trees by budding or grafting as well as by natural means.
Pyrethroid resistance persists in spider mite predator
by Marjorie A. Hoy, Nancy F. Knop, John L. Joos
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Spider mite predators laboratory-selected for pyrethroid resistance successfully overwintered in a northern California apple orchard.
Bioconversion: Tilapia fish turn insects and weeds into edible protein

Feeding voraciously on chironomid midges or on aquatic weeds, two
Testing chrysanthemums for disease resistance
by Thomas G. Byrne, Arthur H. McCain, Thomas M. Kretchun

Oroblanco: A new grapefruit hybrid
by Robert K. Soost, James W. Cameron

Citricola scale, now held in check by chemical controls for California red scale, could again become a major Central Valley citrus pest if a red scale predator is established.
Economic evaluation of mosquito control programs
by Mohammed E. Sarhan, Richard E. Howitt, Charles V. Moore, Carl J. Mitchell
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Studies with statistical models show source reduction to be more economically efficient than chemical controls.
Tomatoes make efficient use of applied nitrogen
by Francis E. Broadbent, Kent B. Tyler, Donald M. May
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Although tomatoes are not as dependent on added nitrogen as other crops are, tests with labeled N show that they do make efficient use of nitrogen fertiher applications.
Larger sprinkler nozzles can save energy
by Blaine R. Hanson, Herbert Schulbach, Carl W. Rimbey, Kent Kaita
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Increasing nozzle diameter can save a considerable amount of energy by reducing pump operating time, if adequate pressure can be maintained.
Delayed grazing may improve upland waterfowl habitat
by George B. Ruyle, John W. Menke, Donald L. Lancaster
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Delaying cattle grazing until mid-July in wetlands and surrounding uplands of Modoc National Forest helped preserve vegetation needed by migratory waterfowl for nesting.
