Plant diseases; Fungi in agriculture; Plant diseases; Fungi. 486 SPECIAL PLANT PATHOLOGY A stem section shows a browning of the vascular ring and the vessels are found occupied by bacteria (Fig. i68). When the cabbage plant is attacked early in the season, it is killed outright, or else it fails to form the characteristic head. Infections may take place through injury of the surface, but the greater part of them are through the water pores, which exude drops of water, which collect during cool. Fig. i68.—Brown-rot of turnip {Pseudomonas brassica)

Bureau of Plant Industry, Jan. 17, 1903.) nights, and in natural infectioii slugs are responsible carriers of the organism. Russell has found that the cauhflower is the most susceptible plant, while turnips and rutabagas are not very susceptible. Edwards reports that the Houser cabbage is practically immune to black-rot under field conditions. The period of incubation is variable. In some cases with needle punctures, the first signs of the disease appear in seven to.
