An outbreak of an insect tentatively identified as the spotted tentiform leaf miner—Lithocolletis crataegetta Clem.— occurred on the foliage of pear, apple and cherry orchards in northern California during the 1952 season.

Leaf potassium: Valencia fruit size relationship shown to be variable by studies
by W. W. Jones, Clarence B. Cree
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The value or need of potassium fertilization.—to increase Valencia orange fruit size—must be determined for each Valencia growing area because no critical level of leaf potassium can be universally assigned.

Air pollution injury to crops: Injurious components of smog identified as derivatives of petroleum products while annual crop damage increases
by John T. Middleton, J. B. Kendrick, E. F. Darley
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Air pollutants that cause typical smog damage—the silvering, bronzing, and spotting on many agricultural crops— are certain olefinic peroxides, formed when ozone reacts with the vapors of unsaturated hydrocarbons derived from gasoline and other petroleum products. In Los Angeles County alone, annual crop losses have exceeded $500,000 since 1949 when they were estimated to be $479,495.
