PLANT DISEASE
EASILY SPREAD
Insects Are Found to Be
Chief Carrier Agents
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
ariimals 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
jat 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 squaro foot of
ground Birds may also carry fun-
gus spores In one case a single
downy woodpecker was found to be
carrying over 750000 spores of the
chestnut blight fungus
The secret of control for 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 6eed 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
