Dwarf resistant alfalfa: Seed of new California Common 49 to be released next season for commercial hay production in certain areas
by Byron R. Houston
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The dwarf disease of alfalfa is now an important factor in the rapid thinning of stands during the second and third season of growth in about one third of the alfalfa producing area of California.

Soluble salt injury to gardenia: Often traced to excessive use of chemical fertilizers or to salts in the water supply
by Stephen Wilhelm, H. T. Pyfrom
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Gardenia flower production in greenhouses in the San Francisco Bay area has been seriously affected by a diseased condition brought on by the accumulation of excessive amounts of soluble salts in the soil in the growing benches.

Potato nutrition studies: Investigations on the chemical composition of white potatoes grown in Kern County
by O. A. Lorenx
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Four different fertilizer treatments and time of sampling—as they affect the chemical composition and nutrient uptake by potatoes grown in Kern County—were studied from plantings, on a Hesperia fine, sandy loam soil.

Further investigations on avocado decline: Effect of oxygen supply in nutrient solution on avocado and citrus seedlings studied in greenhouse tests
by Denxel S. Curtis
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The oxygen requirements of avocado roots were studied as part of a general investigation on the causes and control of avocado decline.

Excel onion: Early maturing and of high quality, new variety proven good producer
by H. A. Jones, Bruce A. Perry, Glen N. Davis
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Producing 35% more onions of high quality 10 to 14 days earlier than conventional Yellow Bermudas, with fewer bolters, doubles and splits, off-colors and other undesirables, is the record of Yellow Bermuda 986.
