Extract

1. The occurrence of stripe smut of rye, Urocystis occulta (Wallr.) Rab. in Great Britain is recorded.

2. Control of seed-borne infection by disinfecting seed prior to sowing with an approved organomercury seed disinfectant has been shown.

3. Experiments have confirmed that the disease may be soil-borne.

4. With the increase of the acreage of rye grown in Great Britain it is suggested that seed should be treated with an approved organo-mercury seed disinfectant as a preventive measure.
