Exocortis transmission tests: Effect of Eureka lemon budwood in transmission of exocortis to trifoliate orange and hybrids studied
by W. P. Bitters, J. N. Brusca, Norman W. Dukeshire
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
The problematical nature of the exocortis disease of trifoliage orange – whether it is of a virus nature transmitted to the trifoliate stock by an infected scion which in itself may show no symptoms, whether it is transmitted by an insect vector or whether it is genetic and an inherent character of the root-stock–is under further study in an experimental planting at Riverside.

Growth of citrus seedlings: Effect of 2,4–D available to roots of seedlings varies with concentration and seedling variety
by A. R. C. Haas, Joseph N. Brusca
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
Little is known regarding the effect of 2,4-D–and especially of a range of 2,4-D concentration–on the growth of the tops or of the rootstock of citrus trees, although considerable information is available as to the effect of 2,4-D when applied to citrus fruit and its effect on the retention by the tree of oil-soaked citrus leaves.

Effect of pesticides in soils: Results of insecticide absorption by the soil is subject of field and greenhouse studies
by D. L. Lindgren, L. D. Anderson, M. H. Frost
| Full text HTML  | PDF  
A potato flavor evaluation test was one phase of a coordinated investigation of the effects insecticides–absorbed by the soil–might have on plants, crops, and soils.
