Chemical weed control: Soil sterilants and translocated herbicides have their advantages and problems according to their special uses
by A. S. Crafts

Asparagus plant breeding: A commercially desirable new strain can be developed only after a minimum of eight to ten years of testing
by G. C. Hanna
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Asparagus breeding is a long-term research activity. Not until eight to ten years after a cross has been made is the plant breeder able to determine whether he has been successful in combining the characteristics of the male and female parents in the way that he hoped. Meanwhile daily yield records must be taken from harvests during a two- to three-month period each spring. These must include the number and size of all spears produced by every plant, as well as a catalog of various desirable characteristics. Individual plant records show a wide variation between plants in these characters.

Tomato insect control program: All-season program outlined for northern California as protection against the most important tomato pests
by A. E. Michelbacher, O. G. Bacon, W. W. Middlekauff

Verticillium wilt and black root rot of strawberry: Progress toward control made by soil fumigation with CWP-55 in split treatments of a combined dosage of 30 gallons per acre
by Stephen Wilhelm
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Soil fumigation with technical chlorobromopropene—CBP-55—offers considerable promise for control of Verticillium wilt and black root rot of strawberry.

Soft brown scale on citrus: Abnormal increase of scale population in groves treated with parathion investigated in survey
by H. S. Elmer, W. H. Ewart, G. E. Carman
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Not all commercial groves treated with parathion develop abnormally high populations of soft brown scale but where populations do increase they usually are extensive and have definite characteristics in comparison to populations found in groves not treated with parathion.

Spray chemical concentrations: Recommendations for bulk, semi consent rate, concentrate methods of spray application on deciduous fruit trees
by Arthur D. Borden
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The application of spray chemicals to deciduous fruit orchards by the semi-concentrate and concentrate methods has resulted in a saving of about 70% in labor costs, and some 20% in materials.
