Proper seed treatment not only results in increased emergence, but protects the young plants from the disease 6 commonly known as barley brown rot. This disease is common in both Perth and Huron Counties and is probably the main reason for yield reductions in barley fields. The disease starts by -irregular .emergence of planted seed. The seed sometimes germinates, but fails to emerge. Root systems of . the plants that do come up are often poorly developed, usually with some rotting in evidence. These plants will look normal for awhile, but soon the leaves will turn pretnaturely yellow or brown.
