Almond harvesting: Mechanization promising in reducing harvesting costs
by Burt B. Burlingame, Albert G. Volz
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Harvesting accounts for more than 40% of the total costs of almond production as found in a 5-year study in Stanislaus County. Over one-half of the harvesting cost is in getting the nuts from the trees to the huller.

Walnuts in Southern California: Control of codling moth by treatment with new materials evaluated during 1952 season
by J. C. Ortega
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
DDT is the most effective and economically feasible material to use for the control of the codling moth on walnuts in southern California. It has been used successfully under a variety of conditions for a number of years in the field. At present there is no indication that the codling moth larvae are becoming resistant. DDT is compatible with all of the more effective aphicides and miticides recommended for use in walnut pest control.

Migrating aphids on walnuts: Regimentation of aphid-free orchards a constant threat from infested orchards on windward side
by A. E. Michelbacher, O. G. Bacon
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
A single treatment—with one of the several available insecticides—could control aphids on walnuts for an entire season if migrating aphids could be kept from the orchard.

Purple scale control: Imported parasites give promise of ultimate biological control
by Paul DeBach

Vinegar fly in tomato fields: Series of experimental tests indicates solution of control problem may be in field treatments
by A. E. Michelbacher, O. G. Bacon, W. W. Middlekauff
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
DDT and dieldrin have shown the most promise in experiments to control the vinegar fly—Drosophila melanogaster Meig.—on tomatoes. However, field investigations with insecticides have not progressed to a point where treatment recommendations can be made.

Oriental fruit fly studies: Mass culture of natural enemies of destructive fly possible after two years of laboratory research
by Glenn L. Finney
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Accidental introduction of the oriental fruit fly—Dacus dorsalis Hendel—to the mainland as it was to the Hawaiian Islands is a distinct threat to California agriculture.

Orchard plow-pans: Obstacle to root distribution and water penetration can be reduced
by E. L. Proebsting
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Effects of a plow-pan in an orchard— interference with normal distribution of tree roots and with the rate of water penetration into the deeper soil layers— can be counteracted to a considerable degree by a soil management program.

Commercially grown carnations: Studies in soil fertility control made to determine optimum fertilization for production of ornamentals
by O. R. Lunt, R. H. Sciaroni, E. J. Bowles
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Soil testing for fertility control in carnation production showed that large quantities of nitrogen and of potassium are removed from the soil—by plant absorption or through leaching—when cultural methods for bench grown carnations are typical of those in use in the San Francisco Bay Area.
