What's Wrong With That Plant?, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

EACH year several thousand inquiries are received from people who want to know "What's wrong with that plant?" The plants range from common fruit, vegeable and pasture plants to rare ornamentals.

In most cases, the inquiries can be answered satisfactorily by Departmental officers who specialise in the study of various plant troubles.

Studies In The Mulga Pastoral Zone. 1. The Grazing Of Wandarrie Grass Associations, D G. Wilcox

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE establishment of the Wiluna office of the North-West Branch marked the commencement of a series of investigations into the pastures of the mulga zone.

Unlike the agricultural areas where a fund of knowledge exists on the growth habits of the pastures, the pastures of this area were completely unknown.

The preliminary investigations had to be aimed at forming an understanding of the reactions of the various plants to rain, to temperature and seasonal conditions and to grazing in an area of extremely low rainfall reliability.

THIS tree which attains a height of 35 to 40 ft. is one of the common roughbarked trees of the open woodlands of the Kimberleys where the soil is sandy, and it is often associated with the woollybutt (E. miniata).

The Budding Of Fruit Trees, T F. Herlihy

Comparison Of Vegetation Of Kansas-Nebraska Drift-Loess Hills And Loess Plains, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

The western edge of True Prairie gives way very gradually on the Loess Plains south of the Platte River to Mixed Prairie of the Great Plains. North of the Platte a similar transition occurs in the valleys and on the slopes of the Loess Hills. But in northern Kansas the True Prairie of the Kansas-Nebraska Drift-Loess Hills is definitely separated by the Flint Hills Region from its western edge on the Kansas-Nebraska Loess Plains. In this study the vegetation, soils, and other environmental factors of the two areas are described and compared.

Malaysian Parasites Xxxv-Xlix, W. W. Macdonald

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

This is the third Study of the series from this Institute on the external and internal parasites and the biting insects of the Malaysian region. The earlier two volumes were planned and edited by Dr. J.R. Audy, and on his departure from Malaya in the middle of 1959 Mr. W. W. Macdonald continued the work which had been begun and collated and edited the papers in this present Study.

In the two previous volumes (Study No. 26, 1954 and No. 28, 1957) the emphasis was on the taxonomy of Trombiculid mites. In the present volume the emphasis has changed, and …

Observations Of The Growth Of Two Strains Of Trichomonas Augusta From Amphibians, William Carl Von Meyer

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This study was begun with three purposes in mind. One was to develop a better medium for the cultivation of flagellate protozoans of the genus Trichomonas by varying the viscosity and nutrient content of the constituents. The second was to determine, by rates of division, the effects of various antibiotics upon axenic cultures, and the third, was to compare division rates in various media which did not contain antibiotics. Since the few axenic cultures which were obtained lasted a maximum of four hours, the emphasis of the problem was shifted to the behavior of Trichomonas augusta growing in association with …

Comprehensive Survey Of Sedimentation In Lake Mead, 1948-49, W. O. Smith, C. P. Vetter, G. B. Cummings, U.S. Bureau Of Reclamation

Publications (WR)

Reservoirs are becoming an increasingly prominent feature of the American landscape. Built for flood mitigation and to change a fluctuating river into a dependable source of water for irrigation, power, and other purposes, they are predestined, like natural lakes, to be destroyed sometime following their creation. Sedimentation sooner or later robs most lakes and reservoirs of their capacity to store water. The significance of sedimentation in the life of Lake Mead, the largest artificial reservoir in the world, was realized when the plan for the reservoir was conceived, and an aerial survey of the floor was made in 1935 before …

Observations On The Biology Of Schistocerca Venusta, David Allyn King

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Statement Qf the problem. The green valley grasshopper, Schistoceroa venusta Scudder, is one of the most common grasshoppers to be found in the San Joaquin Valley and environs. Despite the fact that the insect is commonplace, very little work has been done on its biology. It was the purpose of this study, therefore, to learn by field and laboratory observations of the life cycle and habits of Schistoceroa venusta.

Effects Of Moisture On The Clover Root Borer And Red Clover Yields, K. P. Pruess, C. R. Weaver

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Rainfall and populations of the clover root borer, Hylastinus obscurus (Marsham), were artificially controlled in pots of red clover grown under shelters in the field. Populations of clover root borer were higher under dry conditions. Although yield losses were high in borer-infested pots, yield reductions were no greater under dry than under wet conditions.

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxxvi. Parasites Of The Wolverine, Gulo Gulo L., With Observations On The Biology Of Taenia Twitchelli Schwartz, 1924, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Natural biotic relationships already had been severely disrupted in the United States by the time significant interest had developed in faunistic helminthology. Some mammalian species, particularly the larger carnivores, had been extirpated or were represented only by scattered individuals in the few remaining wilderness areas. Thus, it is not remarkable that the helminths of such species as the wolverine, Gulo gulo Linnaeus, have been little studied. Fortunately, however, much of arctic and subarctic North America has endured in its primitive state, and here it is still possible to undertake basic biological studies under undisturbed conditions.

Studies On The Biological Oxidation Of Ferrous Iron And Chalcopyrite, Loral Alvin Decker

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effectiveness of the leaching streams from waste copper ore dumps as a nutrient solution for subsequent biological oxidation and solubilization of sulfide minerals. The copper in the leaching streams is precipitated by displacement with iron. As a result of this procedure the solution is high in ferrous iron concentration and has a pH of near 3.7. The bacteria in the leaching streams are capable of oxidizing ferrous iron to the ferric state and sulfide minerals to sulfates. The effects of temperatures, pH, urea, and aeration rate on the oxidation of the …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxxiv. The Parasites Of Wolves, Canis Lupus L., Robert L. Rausch, Francis Williamson

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

It is generally recognized that canine animals comprise an important reservoir of parasites and diseases transmissible to man. These animals, including the domestic dog, have unusual economic importance in arctic and subarctic North America, particularly for the Eskimos and Indians living in more remote regions. These aboriginal peoples continually have close association with canine animals and would appear to be quite vulnerable to infection from this source. That this is true is already evident, although data on morbidity from animal-borne diseases are far from complete. At the present time, at least in Alaska, these people have little ability to lessen …

Some Aspects Of Regeneration Silviculture In Spruce-Aspen Stands In Alberta, L. A. Smithers
