Cephalosporium Wilt And Die-Back Of The White Elm, R. W. Goss, Paul Raymond Frink

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

A new disease of the white elm has been found to be common in eastern Nebraska. The causal organism has been isolated and its pathogenicity proved by inoculation. The fungus belongs to the genus Cephalosporium and is considered to be the same as that described by Curtis May of Ohio and found by him in specimens obtained in Iowa, Missouri, New York, and Washington, D.C. The morphology and cultural characters of the organism are described.
