Crop Diseases Cost Millions in Ohio
The Ohio plant pathologists estimate a conservatively five million dollar loss in 1920 due to diseases. Root rot hits corn, matching losses to the value of the apple crop, with apple growers suffering two to three thousand dollars each from scab. Late blight also reduces potato yields by 35 to 40 percent. Dr. E. E. Clayton and Ohio State University in cooperation with state and federal agencies publish annual crop-disease loss surveys for agents and workers.
