Several fields of barley in Perth and. Huron counties appear, to be infected with the organism helminthosporium, causing a disease known as "brown rot'? of barley according to Pat Lynch, soils and crop specia. list in the two counties. The organism attacks grasses and in this case, barley that is slow to emerge. In fact, any grow• ing condition, such as a lowwet spot in • the field, compacted headlands, or wet cold weather, is conducive to the spread of the organism. It causes the bottom leaves of young barley to have a brown- ish appearance. Many plants will also have darker spots or "blotches" on the bottom leaves. At this point, there is nothing that can be done to protect the plants. If there is good growing weather, the barley will pull out of the condition - however, there will be a reduction in yield. The 'amount of reduction will depend upon the growing conditions that exist between now and harvest time. The disease is transmitted by seemingly good seed as well as by discoloured, diseased seed and it also can be spread by infected stubble. If the disease is present in barley fields this year, barley should not be grown In the same field next year Mr. Lynch warns. The only sure way to prevent occurrence of this disease next year is. to treat barley seed with a seed treatment such a vitaflo or polyram, he said. •.1 HPRC Board clears school bus buy 4-41-11, BRUSSELS, .0Ott.
