IV. In order to ascertain whether the urediniospores of Puccinia graminis tritici (Pers.) Erikss. and Henn. overwinter under the environmental conditions prevailing at Lincoln, Nebraska, a series of experiments was carried out extending over a period of 5 years. The results of this investigation are briefly presented. V. By the period of initial infection is meant the time required by a pathogen after it reaches a susceptible plant part to enter the tissues. To determine what the period of initial infection of urediniospores of Puccinia graminis tritici might be, experiments were undertaken during the season of 1923-24 using urediniospores of …

Further Studies On The Effect Of Environment On Potato Degeneration Diseases, R. W. Goss, George L. Peltier

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The identification of potato degeneration diseases in the field is extremely difficult owing to the number of diseases now described, their manifestation on different varieties, the combination of several diseases on the same plant, and the further splitting up of these combinations into separate diseases. The influence of environmental factors in intensifying or inhibiting the symptoms of these diseases also increases the difficulty of diagnosis. In the present investigation the effect of environmental factors has been studied with the purpose of determining the limiting factor or factors in the masking of the symptoms, in the hopes of simplifying a complex …
