Extension and Experiment Station Publications
It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
Bacterial wilt is a devastating disease of cucurbit crops (melon, cucumber, squash, pumpkin) in Iowa. Striped and spotted cucumber beetles transmit the bacteria (Erwinia tracheiphila) to cucurbit plants when their infected frass comes in contact with feeding wounds and floral nectaries. Infected plants usually wilt and die within two weeks.
