Bulletin No. 196 - The Fruit Tree Leaf Roller And Its Control By Oil Sprays, I. M. Hawley

UAES Bulletins

When the fruit tree leaf roller is present in large numbers in an apple orchard it i the most destructive apple insect in the state. Fortunately, it is not a pest of general occurrence. Tho this insect is known to occur from Cache Valley south to Beaver, serious losses from its ravages have been restricted to occasional orchards within the infested territory.

Bulletin No. 197 - The Pear Leaf Blister Mite As An Apple Pest, I. M. Hawley

UAES Bulletins

The blister mite is a pest of foreign origin, that has been in the United States for many years. It was introduced into this country, probably from Europe, sometime before 1872, and by 1894 it was rather general in its distribution thruout the United States and Canada. At the present time this mite is a serious pest of apples in many of the fruit-growing sections of Western America. The blister mite was first reported in Utah by Hedrick as early as 1898. During the last few years it has been abnormally abundant in some parts of Utah.


Bulletin No. 195 - Field Studies Of Sugar-Beet Nematode, George Stewart, A. H. Bateman May 1926

Bulletin No. 195 - Field Studies Of Sugar-Beet Nematode, George Stewart, A. H. Bateman

UAES Bulletins

The sugar-beet nematode has now become of importance in Utah. It occurs in spots in practically all of the older beet-growing districts and in a few parts of the state in much larger areas. The intensity of infestation varies from mere traces to nearly complete occupation. One of the areas of severe infestation in Utah on a large area is in the Lewiston district, of northern Cache Valley. The survey here reported was undertaken in order to find the extent of nematode infestation in Cache Valley and the possibility of its control by ordinary cultural practices.
