Root-lesion nematode injury: Trials under way to determine resistant or tolerant rootstocks for fruit and nut trees
by E. F. Serr, L. H. Day
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The root-lesion—or meadow—nematode has been found widely scattered in California by United States Department of Agriculture and Experiment Station workers. In 1941 it was found associated with die-back of bearing sweet cherry trees in Riverside County. About the same time it was found on walnut trees showing poor vigor in Ventury County. Since then it has been identified on walnuts in several southern California counties and also in the San Joaquin, Sacramento, and Santa Clara valleys and Sierra Nevada foothills. Fig and olive roots have been reported frequently infested with this nematode. Apple, almond, peach, pear, plum, and quince roots have been reported infested.

Timber growth studies: Tree growth in Whitaker's Forest, Tulare County, during 33-year period; 1915 to 1948
by Woodbridge Metcalf

Citrus fruit size studies: Experimental test of 2,4-D sprays to increase orange and grapefruit fruit size
by Wm. S. Stewart, H. S. Hield
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Further tests with 2,4-D sprays are necessary before any recommendations for their commercial use to increase fruit size are justified.

Soil test for phosphate: New method of chemical analysis of soil for available phosphate is rapid and accurate
by Frank T. Bingham
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
A new test for available phosphate in soils requires only standard laboratory equipment. It is rapid, economical and gives a better correlation with pot and field experiments than other extraction methods commonly used.
