Diseases of cereal and forage Diseases of cereal and forage crops in the United States in 1922 diseasesofcereal27hask Year: 1923 171 V/II5AT - ijunt California: Continued rsduction Df bunt is apparent in this year's crop. The effocts oC the srut campaign are evidently apparent in the re~ duction of bunt. Il is estimated that the attack v/ill average less than one half of 1, v/ith many areas averaging less than one tenth of 1. Many thousands of acres smut-free. (Mackie). Factors influencing the amount of bunt The question arises as to the reason for the increase in the amount jf bunt in Montana, Idcho, V/ashington, and Oregon. In a recent paper, Hungerford (5) iias shown that low soil temperatures and a fairly high percentage of mjis- ture in the sil at seeding time, are conducive tj bunt infectiun* In a series jf controlled greenhouse experiments, he fund that the highest percentage of infection was secured at temperatures ranging from 9 tj 12'C, (48 to 54*F) , and in soil containing 22 moisture and v/ith a moisture equivalent to At the highest temperatures there was a falling off in the amount of disease, and in SDils v/here there was an extremely high percentage jf moisture, infection seemed to be inhibited* Fig. 15- Dates v/hen seeding of winter wheat begins (Seedtime and harvest. U. S. D. A. Circ. 183. 122).
