Forest Fire Damage Studies In The Northeast--I. Bark-Beetles And Fire Damaged Hardwoods, Paul W. Stickel

The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography

In reporting the damage to trees scorched lightly at the base by fire the average fire warden and even the technically trained forester is given to stating that little harm has been done providing the tree crowns remain green. Such a statement is far from being correct, failing as it does to take into account the aftermath of insect and fungus damage which invariably follows even the lightest of surface fires. In the case reported herein, over 50 per cent of the fire-scorched hardwoods showed signs of the presence of ambrosia-beetles, whose work, even if the trees continue to live, …

A Study Of The Oviposition And Nymphal Development Of Paratrioza Cockerelli (Sulc) Upon Various Host Plants, Wylie L. Thomas

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The potato psyllid, Paratrioza cockerelli (Sulc) as stated by E. O. Essig, (1917) is a native of the western states.

Since the great outbreak of psyllid yellows in Utah potato fields in 1927 much interest has been given to this insect. The close relationship between the nymphs of P. cockerelli and the disease, psyllid yellows, is a well known fact, but as yet the causative factor by which this disease is produced still remains unknown.

Because of the severity of the disease to potatoes and the importance of knowing something of the host plants of P. cockerelli, the writer, …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The establishment of the Bear River Bay Bird Refuge has created for the state of Utah an immense and valuable biological field, a veritable paradise for naturalist and sportsman alike.

Inheritance Of Resistance To Loose Smut (U. Tritici) In Certain Wheat Crosses, Bion Tolman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During recent years the principles of Mendelism have been used extensively in the production of the new types of plants possessing resistance to various diseases. Results of this mode of attacking the disease problem have been very favorable. Old varieties are gradually giving way to newer types equal to or exceeding in quality and productivity as well as possessing resistance to one or more diseases.

Loose smut (U. tritici) in wheat, while not as serious a problem in Utah as the covered smut (T. tritici), according to Tapke (14) has caused an average annual loss of between 50,000 and 100,000 …

Bulletin No. 230 - San Juan County Experimental Farm: Progress Report, 1925-30, Inclusive, James H. Eagar, A. F. Bracken

UAES Bulletins

San Juan County, located in the southeast corner of the state, has a dry-farm area of approximately 600,000 acres extending from Monticello 26 miles south to Blanding and 6 miles north to Peter's Hill and stretching from the Blue Mountains east 30 miles to the Colorado line. One-fourth to one-third of this area is covered with timber consisting mainly of pinion pine, oak brush, and juniper commonly called cedar. Both the juniper and pinion are of value as fuel and building material, and the juniper has an additional value for fence posts. While small areas have been cleared of timber …

Bulletin No. 226 - Alfalfa-Seed Production, J. W. Carlson, George Stewart

UAES Bulletins

Utah's alfalfa-seed crop is of far-reaching importance. Since 1919, the growing of this crop has been a major industry in western Millard County and in that part of the Uintah Basin situated in Utah. These places are two of the relatively few large areas in the United States peculiarly adapted by climate for the successful growing of alfalfa-seed. As a cash crop, alfalfa-seed has a high commercial value. It is also the basis of the state's alfalfa hay crop, which in turn constitutes the foundation of Utah's livestock industry. Because of its wide dissemination, Utah's alfalfa-seed crop influences the feed …

Parasites Of The Beet Leafhopper Eutettix Tenellus (Baker) In Northern Utah, Myles F. Bowen

Biology

The beet leafhopper, Eutettix tenellus (Baker), is undoubtedly the most destructive insect pest of the sugar-beet in the west. It was first noted as a pest of sugar-beets and observed as a vector of curly top disease of the sugar-beet by Ball in 1906. Since then various methods of bringing it under control have been tried but as yet no practical method has been discovered.
