Virus Disease Of Small Fruits, R. H. Converse

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

This illustrated handbook was compiled by international authorities on virus and viruslike diseases of small fruits. Crops covered are in the plant genera Fragaria (strawberry), Vaccinium (blueberry and cranberry), Ribes (currant and gooseberry), and Rubus (blackberry and raspberry). The history, geographic distribution, importance, symptoms, transmission, cause, detection, and control of virus and viruslike diseases attacking these crops are discussed.

Depletion Of Subsoil Moisture By Apple Trees And Other Woody Species, C. C. Wiggans

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This project began in 1934 and ended in 1955. The work of Kiesselbach, Russel and Anderson indicated that depleted subsoil moisture might be the reason for the loss of many orchards and the injurious effects noted on native woody forest species. Most of the work in apple orchards was done at the University Fruit Farm at Union, Nebraska. Samples were also secured from commercial plantings of apples and other woody species in areas ranging from Rulo, near the Kansas-Nebraska border, to Florence, just north of Omaha, to Lincoln and several points in central Nebraska.

Strawberries In Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The strawberry is more widely grown than any other fruit in Nebraska and is the most valuable of the small fruits. Its total value is greater than that of any of the other fruit crops grown with the exception of apples, cherries, and grapes. It thrives well in all sections where moisture is not too limited and is found almost always in home gardens. It is also produced commercially to some extent, especially near the larger cities in the eastern end of the state.

Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The production of sound, clean fruit is unquestionably one of the major problems facing the modern fruit grower. Culture may be neglected and pruning delayed for a time but the omission of sprays for even a single season demonstrates their absolute necessity. This applies equally to the commercial grower and to the farmer or gardener who has only a few trees.

Root Development Of Young Delicious Apple Trees As Affected By Soils And By Cultural Treatments, W. W. Yocum

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The major problem of this investigation was to determine the effects of different cultural treatments and soil conditions upon the depth and lateral spread of the root systems of young Delicious apple trees during the first three years in the orchard. This study was conducted during the years 1932 to 1934 inclusive.

The University Fruit Farm At Union, Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The University Fruit Farm may be considered as a substation or detached portion of the Nebraska Experiment Station. It was established to assist in answering questions pertaining to fruit production, and only experiments of this sort are carried on. Supervision of this property rests with the Department of Horticulture of the Nebraska College of Agriculture. This circular has been prepared with the view of furnishing visitors to the farm with a brief outline of the experimental projects. Further information is available from either the local foreman or from the Department. Visitors are always welcome and helpful suggestions are solicited.

Strawberries In Nebraska, C. C. Wiggans

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The strawberry is probably the most important small fruit grown in Nebraska. It thrives well in all sections of the State where the moisture supply is not too limited, being found almost universally in home plantings. It is also produced commercially in certain favored localities but this acreage is limited.

Spraying Experiments In Nebraska, J. Ralph Cooper

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The more important questions which were considered during the three years covered by the present report were as follows: 1. How many summer sprays are required and when should they be applied? 2. What is the difference in efficiency between various brands of arsenate of lead? 3. What are the relative values of lime sulphur and Bordeaux as fungicides for spraying apples? 4. Is it possible to lessen or prevent Bordeaux injury and at the same time control fungous diseases? 5. Is it possible to interchange Bordeaux and lime sulphur in a spray schedule in such a manner as to …
