Seed Blight Reported in Southwest Virginia Grains
Blacksburg Virginia February 5 A number of cases of blight affecting wheat oats rye and barley in southwest Virginia have been reported to the extension service pathologist Penne. The disease is caused by a soil fungus and is more destructive in a poor winter season. Surviving plants will grow normally. Seed treatment with ceresan before planting is advised to guard against lack of wheat. The insect cannot be controlled after attack but can be prevented by early plowing of volunteer wheat before the first killing frost to deprive the fly of shelter.
