Growth regulators: Effect of 2,4-D investigated in studies on Washington navels
by W. S. Stewart, L. J. Klotz, H. Z. Hield
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Satisfactory control of naval orange fruit drop is achieved by California citrus growers who have applied 2,4-D as a plant growth regulator on commercial acreage since 1947.

Heat transfer in citrus groves: Frost protection studies of effectiveness of wind machines alone and in combination with heaters
by F. A. Brooks, C. F. Kelly, D. G. Rhoades, H. B. Schultz

The economic value of frost protection directly depends upon the productivity of the orchard–in quantity and quality. No close averages are available but it can be assumed that the citrus grower who has to heat more than six or seven nights a year probably is losing money on frost protection.

Growth intervals in pasture: Clipping experiments aim at finding the most suitable regrowth periods for California legume-grass mixtures
by M. L. Peterson
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Growth intervals of common legume-grass mixtures were investigated to determine the most efficient system of rotation grazing in California's irrigated pastures.
