Relatively late planting of potatoes, i.e., between June 12 and 25, has become the prevailing practice in the dryland areas of western Nebraska. Late planting distinctly improves the color and type of tubers, and reduces losses due to insects and diseases (especially soil-borne diseases caused by Fusarium and Streptomyces).

Streak Mosaic Of Wheat In Nebraska And Its Control, R. Staples, W. B. Allington
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This bulletin reports the results of studies on the epidemiology of wheat streak mosaic under Nebraska conditions. Particular attention is given to the occurrence and certain characteristics of the mite vector of the virus, the relation of weather and other factors to some of its activities, a correlation of certain mite situations with epidemics of the disease, and recommendations for disease control.
