PLANT DISEASE
EASILY SPREAD
Insects Are Found to Be
Chief Carrier Agents.
B C. W. HUNGERFORD
How are plant diseases spread?
There is little mystery in the an
swer to that question, though plant
scientists, entomologists, and others
are constantly adding to our knowl
edge of the subject. Man. domestic
animals, rodents, slugs, snails,
birds, insects, wind and water are
among the more common agencies
that spread plant diseases. Insects
are the most important spreaders
of certain types of diseases, accord
ing to the results of tests conducted
at the Idaho college of agriculture.
Perhaps you have wondered just
what causes plant diseases. Plant
diseases have about the same
causes as diseases of animals and
humans. Fungi and bacteria cause
many plant diseases. Others are
caused by a group of organisms
known as viruses, which are too
small to be detected with the most
powerful microscope.
Wind and rain act as agencies
for spreading many plant diseases.
In some of the winter wheat grow
ing areas of the country the spores
of the stinking ant are blown in
such quantities that "smut show
ers” occur and many thousands of
spores fall on every square foot of
ground. Bircis may also carry fun
gus spores In one case a single
downy woodpecker was found to4>e
carrying over 753.000 spores of the
chestnut blight fungus.
The secret of control tor many
virus diseases lies In the control of
insects, which are the principal
means of spreading these diseases
in the field. Much can be done to
prevent the spread of plant diseases
in general by seed treatment and
by general sanitary practices
around the farm, Burning of dis-
eased plants and disinfection of
pruning tools and various contain-
ers are examples of proper sani
tary practices.
