Control Equipment For The Study Of The Relation Of Environment To Disease, George L. Peltier, R. W. Goss Jun 1924

Control Equipment For The Study Of The Relation Of Environment To Disease, George L. Peltier, R. W. Goss

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The investigation of certain plant disease problems in Nebraska has necessitated the study of the relation of various environmental factors to these diseases. The control of these environmental factors in the greenhouse studies has been obtained by the use of previously described apparatus or their modification and adaptation, along with new methods which have been devised to meet the needs of these investigations. In view of the widespread interest in the subject of environmental control for experimental studies, it was deemed advisable to present briefly the methods now in use in this department in the hope that the information may …


Potato Wilt And Stem-End Rot Caused By Fusarium Eumartii, R. W. Goss Jun 1924

Potato Wilt And Stem-End Rot Caused By Fusarium Eumartii, R. W. Goss

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The present study was undertaken to obtain more information regarding the pathogenicity of Fusarium eumartii and to compare its action with F. oxysporum, in order to distinguish between and to determine the relative importance of the diseases produced by these two organisms. An effort was also made to explain the many negative results of isolation studies reported by various investigators, as well as the inconsistent results often reported in studies of the transmission of wilt by infected tubers. Investigations dealing with the effect of certain environmental conditions on the occurrence of the disease were also undertaken. All of the …


Effect Of Environment On Potato Degeneration Diseases, R. W. Goss Mar 1924

Effect Of Environment On Potato Degeneration Diseases, R. W. Goss

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

During recent years much of the investigational work on the degeneration diseases of the potato has been directed toward the separation and identification of a number of diseases formerly grouped under the general names of mosaic, leaf roll, and "running out". Extensive studies have also been made on methods of transmission, host range, overwintering and the identification of the evasive causal factor. Investigations of this type, however, have progressed slowly because of the necessity of developing new methods of research, because of the complexity of the problem, and because of the lack of knowledge regarding the causal factors. Meanwhile there …
