'T \fi'flvfir‘V‘T’Nr-“W'r 0‘1 t'J ; The disease "potato scab" is a con 5 ant men ace in certain sections of the potato “ Min districts of Fichigan. Prevention by an acid reaction in the e il or DJ se ed tre atnent is not success- ful in most instances due to the fact th-t t e rotation crepe grown require a high lime content, and that the soil is heavily infested with the scab organism, a conu itio n making seed treatment nearly useless. With this condition present, eXperinents for the control of potato scab by disinfecting the soil with chemicals were thought to be worthy of effort. I | The nature of the work has been extensive re ner than intensive, partially because a large number of factors are concern- ed in experiments dealing with soil dis sinfection, and partially because the results of the field experiments were t ue opposit e of what might normally be expected. Various phases of the work were undertaken to help eXplain the manner in which the scab organism reacted to the chemical treatments, and it is from these pm; see that the greater part of the conclusions are drawn. LITERAT373 CITED Tuber borne scab. The disease of potatoes generally known as "common scab" which is caused by a species of Actinomyces, named by Thaxter (61) Oospora scabies and by Gussow (20) Actinomyces scabies, is probably as old as potato culture. Prior to the latter part of the ninteenth century considerable literature had accumulated pertaining to scab, and several theories were advanced as to its cause by both scientific and pepular writers. These included: (l) mechanical irritation, (2) damage resulting from insect agencies, (3) chemical erosion or irritation, (4) excess of moisture, and (5) action of Fungi. W. G. Smith (58) of England was the chief supporter of the mechanical irritation theory and thought rubbish to be the cause. The insect theory was largely supported by pOpular writers and the cause of scab generally attributed to the wire-worm. The chemical agency theory was advocated by Sorauer (59) of Germany; the substances considered important were lime and ashes both of which seemed to be preportional in amounts to the degree of scab. A much later contribution to this theory was made by Humphrey (23) whose results as well as those of other workers, although of value, failed to indicate the true cause of the disease. He was unable to associate any organism constantly or even frequently with the disease and listed environmental factors as the cause of the disease. Fany of these factors since have been shown to affect the number of scab organisms present in the soil to the same extent that his results showed increase or decrease in the percentage of scabby tubers. The fourth theory, was that excess moisture caused an increase in sap with a rupturing of the lenticels and cork formation, and the resultant production of scab spots. Imong the writers favering this theory were, Frank, Giersberg, Schacht, Arther, Nobbe, and Beckwith, cited by Humphrey (23). The theory of causation by true fungi, had its origin in the announcement by Wallroth (as) that the disease was due to the action of the fungus Erysibe subterranea Wallr. This statement was reaffirmed by Julius Kuhn (33), and assented to by Jubainville and Vesque (30), in 1678. Sorauer (59) and.nsny other writers denied the causal nature of this or any other similar fungus and stated that if present, it was only an accompaniment of the real cause. Brunchorst (4) ascribed the cause of scab to the direct action of a myxomycetous fungus named by him Spongospora solani. The scab disease of Wallroth and Qrunchorst is powdery scab, and the organisms named by them are synonymous. Spongospora subterranea (”allr.) John is the final name given to powdery scab, and therefore the citations above do not pertain to the common scab of potato. It was not until about 1890 that much of scientific value in regard to potato scab appeared in the literature. Test of the avail- able accounts deal with the control of the disease because of its constant menace in potato regions where it often caused rather heavy losses in decreasing the market value of infected tubers. Thaxter (61) was the first to show that the scabby, corky lesions on the tubers were due to an invading organism and was the first to isolate this organism from scab lesions on tubers, grow it in pure culture, and then inoculate uninfected tuber and reproduce the disease. He recognized that the organism was tuber borne and con sined within the scab lesions after digging and that the use of disease-free seed for planting was advisable. Other early worxers who investigated scab were, Bolley (l and 2), Humphrey (23), Kinney (31), Galloway (16), Tones and Edson (29), and others. Of these workers, Bolley (l and 2) carrying on experiments in Indiana and North Hakota probably did more extensive and intensive work than any other investigator before 1900. Although he did not classify the organism as did Thaxter (61) he did discover that there was a definite plant parasite responsible for the disease and that this organism was tuber and soil borne. He believed the disease to be due to a bacterium and reproduced scab with an organism that he isolated from scabby potatoes. He also made some progress in determining the environ- mental factors necessary for the develOpment of scab and discovered that the disease could be somewhat prevented by soaking the seed tubers in a 1-1000 solution of corrosive sublimste for one and one-half hours. Jones and Edson (29), and Kinney (31), conducted experiments for the prevention of scab and obtained some information on the value of seed treatment before planting, and of soil treatment with sulfur. Several writers have endeavored to separate the different types of scab by th effect upon the *ost. Types of scab were recognized before it was known that the disease was caused by an organism. Humphrey (24) separated the disease into deep and superficial scab. Both Thaxter (oi) and Bolley (1) recognized the two types of symptoms but thought them to be variations of the same disease. Frank and Vruger (15) claimed to be able to dieting ish morpholoaical differences in the different types, iamely, (1) shallow scab, (2) deep scab, (3) bulginxy scab, and (4) bulging deep scab. Forever, Lutman (38) believed these different types of lesicns to be staaes in the advance of the same disease. he also supports Thaxter's view point as to the type of organism, stating that "the distribution of the hyohae is very irregular, occurring on any part of the potato, but always in the outer layer of the periderm", nd he makes the statement that "soab is dde to the hypertrOphy of the cells of the cork Cambium, the cells of which are much thickened due to their suberization". According to Lutman and Cunningham (40) "the ordinary scab of po‘ato is due to an increase in growth in the cork layer, the production of which is due to a stimulation on its surface and in its outer cell layers by the grovth of an organism which forms chemical substances which :re absorbed and which cause the cork cells to increase both in size and number". Villard (47), point- ed out the fact that several types of scab existed but believed them to be caused by variations of the scabies group. Later in another report (46) he listed six different types of scab, and tested 24 isolations of Actinomyces for pathOgenicity, ll of which proved to be pathogenic. These he classed as distinct Species. Jones (26) worked with different types of scab studying he structure of the potato cells affected. His conclusions were that the type of scab lesions produced depends upon the activity of the organism and that deep scab resulted from the organ- ism penetrating the cells so rapidly that a corky layer could not be built up at the surface to prevent penetration. -( .I- Soil borne scab. Bolley (2) was among the first investigators to TBCOfanB that the organism causing the disease "potato scab" was Soil borne. He determined that the orsanism was capable of living at least four years in the soil and then causing scab of potatoes. Jones and Fdson (28) showed that the organism could remain in the soil 25 or more 2 of tubers. They also unintentional- "- years and then cause a heavy scabbin 1y showed that the organism is present in new soil. Lutman (57) proved that potatoes grown in virgin soil were often scabby and that the longer potatoes were grown in a field the more scab would be present, disregarding the fact that all of the seed used was disinfected with formaldehyde. Lutman and Cunningham (40) obtained results to show that the potato scab organism, named by Gasperini, fictinomyces chromogenus and which they identified as a scab producing organism, is wide spread and is found in practically all soils, so far as known, but is most numerous in these soils which are rich in humus. Literature on soil borne scab takes up a wide field of investigation. “us to the research of soil bacteriolOgists it has been dete mined that the ictinomyces group make up a comparatively large percentage of the soil microflora. Waksman (63) found that on an average 17% of soil borne organisms were Actinomyces. heavy soils nnd those rich in undecomposed organic sub- stances axe relatively richer in Actinomycetes than corresponding lighter soils. In an earlier account (62) he found and named thirty Species of Actinomyces, but later grouped some of these together into one Species. He discovered that the Actinomyces group were not extensive anmonifiers although they reduced nitrites to nitrates, and that they were strong cellulose decomposers forging humus from organic matter. According to Taksman (62) Clobig, Yossi—Dori, Pullman, and T'adsen isolated and studied lctinomyces from different sources. Beijerinck (22) stressed the importance of organic matter for Actinomyces growth. Fousek (14) found more Actinomycetes in heavy than in light soils. Krainsky (32) found 50% of the soil microflora to be Actinomycetes. Conn(8), (7), and (6) observed a greater number of Actinomycetes, 39.4%, in old sod soil, and concluded that they play a role in the decomposition of grass roots. Millard (47) states that "scab occurs most commonly and with greater virulence on light sandy or gravelly soils especially those of a hungry nature, and it can be inhibited by green-manuring of the soil. The fact that the scab organism is soil borne is closely associated with several factors affecting its develOpment. Fartin (41 and 42) observed that the p? reaction is far more concerned than is the soil moisture in affecting the amount of scab. Soils varying in moisture content, but with a similar reaction gave equal amounts of scab. When sulfur was added and a pH of 5.1 produced, scab was great- ly reduced. Variation in the amount of rainfall caused no difference in the percentage of scab until sulfur was added. Addition of sulfur resulted in a decrease of scab in preportion to the lowering of the pH value. The effectiveness of a given quantity of sulfur depends upon its ability to produce an acid reaction when added to the soil. In another article (43) he states that part of the inhibitory effect of sulfur is probably due to its toxicity and not altogether to the pH reaction. GilleSpie (18 and 19) using two synthetic and one potato extract media, concluded that the potato scab organism would not grow I? Y." r r" - . .. ‘ U . in a ph loner than 4.7. the strains varied somewhat in their reaction to a given p?, but the variation was not appreciable, and none of them gave good growth at a p? love *3 than 5.E. Us did not find scabby potatoes on soils with a p? value of less then 5.1. This was true of all soils, and, much, or peat. wheeler and ideas (71) working over a period of three years shared that al forms of lime tend to promote scab, and flowers of sulfur tend to inhibit it, hit may injure th potatoes if applied in too large amounis. Culfate cf anmonia proved even better than sulfur. Thecler, Yartwell, and ”oore (72) found the effect of sulfur for the prevention of potato scab to depend on the acidity derived from its application. Ealsted (21) obtained good con- trol of scab by the application of sulfur. Lime gave 100% scab. Cor- rosive sublimate, kainit, and cepper sulfate when applied to the soil, decreased the crop yield as well as the amount of scab. Sherbahoff (57) found that injury on various crops including potatoes resulted if sulfur were added at the rate of more than 900 pounds per acre. When added with commercial fertilizen it was less injurious. The injury was more marked in light soils which were low in humus. In another article (56) he reports that scab is greatly reduced with heavy applications of sulfur, and that the number of scab lesions was more reduced than the number of scabby tubers although the latter were also greatly reduced by the treatment. Carmen (l7) states that "the use of flour of sulfur applied to the soil gave little or no results and in some cases gave more scab than the untreated". Lint (43) observed that sulfur reduced the amount of scab appreciably, and the smaller applications of 500 pounds seemed as effective as the larger applications of 600 pounds. Wedgworth (70) reported that the additions of sulfur Usually increas- ed the percentage of clean tub+rs, and that 600 pounds of sulfur per acre showed the greatest amount of clean tubers. Other factors which have been thgu§ht to regulate if not control scab are, moisture, temperature, and crop rotation. Shapovalov (55) concluded that there is always enough cellulose in the soil to perpetuate the organism from year to year. Crop rotation would not eradicate the scab fungus from the soil. Sandord (52) believes moist- ure the main factor controlling scab in the soil which he used, a dark organic sandy loam. dcdb develOPed abundantly in dry soil while moist soil produCed almost all clean tub-rs. The H. ion concentration varied but little. Shapovalov (54) conducted temperature germination tests Oto 40° c. with the scab organism and found that temperature from 35 were the most favorable for the genuination of the gonidia, though unfavorable for long continued growth of the mycelium. The merimum . , ° ‘ . o 1 0 temperature for growth is about 4u.5 C., tne optnnmn 25 to o0 C., . o and tne minimum about 5 C. Involution forms are not the result of temperature conditions. Jones, NcKinney, and Fellows (27) conducted experiments in the "Wisconsin tanks", the temperature ranging from 0 0 . ‘ ~ . 11 to 30.5 C. They determined that tne develOpment of scab is influ- 0 IT“ enced by soil temperature, the Ogtimum being about 22 C. inis is in accord with field exgeriments of various investigators showing that there is a greater prevalence of scab in hot summers than in cooler ones. Jonas and YcKinney (28) stressed the point ihat potato scab is not so prevalent in Yorthesn Europe as it is in "orth America where the sumner temperatures are much higher. Judging from the data given by these investigators, it would seem logical to believe that scab development is inter-dependent on a combination of factors, one of which may be dominant for a siven condition. Taxonomy of the scab group, A great deal of study has bee made of the group of organ? isms causing "potato scab", but as yet it is not definitely known whether or not these organisms causing the disease can be placed in one distinct species. Thexter (61) was the first to associate and prove that an organism was directly the cause of the disease and after a great deal of study he n med it Oospora scabies. His des- cription is very specific and while it is probable that several types of scab organisms will fit in generally with the description, it is also true that an organism would nave to be grown under the same con- ditions as was Thaxter's original organism before it could be proved to be identical. His reasons for placing the organism in the genus Oospora were that it appears more nearly allied to certain forms in- cluded in this genus by Saccardo. However, he adds that "it is need- less to remark that the genus Oospora, as given by Saccardo has no scientific value, and the reference of a form to this genus is merely, as in the present case, a confession of ignorance concerning its true position". Bolley (l) believed the organism to be a bacterium. How- ever, he “id not name the organism and later in his report (2) he states that it agrees with the description given by Thaxter. Cunningham.(ll) isolated three forms of an organism from potato scab lesions and reproduced the disease upon inoculation. He believed then to be identical with Thaxter's, but disagrees with the generic name because the two characters, true branching and aerial fruiting, separated this organism from the bacteria, and are recognized as im— portant characters of the family chobacteriaceae and of the genus Streptothrix. Upon this basis Cunningham thought the organism should be placed in the genus Streptothrix. Gussow (SO) disagrees with Cunningham in the use of the name Ptreptothrix because it was used by Corda in 1859 for another genus and accordin? to the Vienna code cane T7 not be applied to a second one. he states that other names such as Cladothri , Yocardia, and Actinomyces have been loosely used for the organism causing potato scab. Cladothrix cannot be used bQCFuefi of its also untenable be- (I) false branching and ciliated spores. Nocardia i cause the name was applied to other organisms by Saccardo, and Gussow therefore changed the name to Actinomyces scabies (Thaxter) Gussow. Lutman and Cunningham (40) identified the scab organism as Actinomyces chromogenus GaSperini. Nehinney (45) states that he was also able to isolate forms of lctinomyces identical with ictinomyces chromogenus in pigment formation but adds that various workers have demonstrated that Actinomyces chromoaenus is a group of various species differing in physiology and morphology. He maintains with Drechsler that the binomial ictinomyces scabies (Thaxter) Gussow should be accepted as the name of the organism which causes common scab of the potato tuber. Drechsler (12) criticizes other workers on the genus Actino- myces because they have been too quick to form conclusions on the taxonomy of the group from details only slightly studied. his study includes 18 groups or types of Actinoryces which he carefully describes ~ a Q A . cL-‘J equ' morphologically. Ve believes that Lctinomyces does not re “eaent a J 1 transition between the hyphomycetes an the Schizonycetes. he determin- ed rather definitely that Actinomyces is a fungus belonjing to the Fungi Ingerfecti. Conn (9) working with various culture media and 75 culture found it very difficult to distinguibh betteen the various type of Actinomyces unless extreme care had been taken in preparation of a protein-free media and unless the organism was repeatedly grown in the same medium. Lehmann and “ewmann cited in ”aksmen (62) consider the Actino- myces a special group which stand between the Vyphomycetes and the Schizomycetes; related to the latter by their slender hyphae and pro- toplasmic progerties, and to the former by the branching formation of aerial hyphae with conidia like structures. Claypole (lO)believes that the higher sporing fungi, the true bacteria, and the acid-fast bacteria have all arisen from the Streptothrix group which is highly variable both morphologically and physiologically. within the group.ictinomyces, Taksman (62), (63), (64), (65), (66), (67) and (6E) has probably con- tributed more than any other worker to the knowledge of species and forms. He classifies the organisms according to morpholOfy and physiolo- gy depending in many cases on chromatic characteristics. Fillnrd and Burr (46) studied the pathogenicity on potatoes of 24 strains of Actino- myces, naming ll pathogenic species. There has been a great deal of work within the group Actino- myces and as has been stated by many investigators, the variation is so great that separation into distinct Species is extremely difficult. Perhaps there has been too much work separating the variations into distinct species. This criticism has been o”9ered by some triters. According to Buchanan (5) the following classitication is the one to which the potato scab organism belon s: genus, Actinomyces; family, Actinomycetaceae; order, Actinomycetales; and class, Schizomycetes. Eyphomycetes is sometimes given as the class depending upon the in- vestigator. -14- STA”WT:WT OF Ti? PFCELTN AA. The control of scab is a well known problem confronting the potato growers in Ticni-en, and especially so in the southern part of the state. In timES past when the growers knew very little about potato scab, little or no cure was taien to prevent the spread of the organism, and no thonght was given toward keeping the riginal infestation down to a minimum. Due to the lack of this knowledge and to the methods of cultivation and fertilizing practic- ed, the amount of scab producing organism in the soil has greatly multiplied. It is of common practice in many of the potato districts to grow cover crops, mainly clover and alfalfa, for a period of from two to four years, then leW them under and again plant the field to potatoes. To make the conditions more favorable for ttese crOps, lime is used to produce a neutral or slightly alkaline soil reaction. These conditions are also favorable for the growth of the potato scab organism, Lctinomyces scabies. Fillerd (47) stated that by the addition of green.menure, scab could be controlled by keeping it as a saprOphyte ra her than a parasite, a condition brought about by the scarcity of food material. However, it has been shown by, Lutman (37), Waksman (63), Conn (8) and others that an abundance of organic matter, other factors being optimum, produced an abundance of scabby potatoes. The above condition has occurred in certain districts in the southern part of the lower peninsula of Fichi~an, and the ictinomyces content of the soil has been greatly increased by liming, and turning under green manure crops. Another source of contamination rhich is, often of importance and ich it is vell to mention, is the feeding of uncooked potatoes to famn animrls, and t e appli cation of the manure to the fields 5 fertilizer. Verse (45) has shown that the scab organism is capable of oassin tr ro u h t e dL fie tive tract of animals in the manure, which when apolied to the soil will increase the number of scabby tubers. Thee: sources of contamination have greatly increased tie scab menace in cert rain districts, fTJuJ ('3 VJ' :1 4 “’1 m problem of great importance to the fr 33ers. The work.iehen up h;re has special refererce to the control of scab by treating the sill with chs icols. Considerable work has been done on the c ntrol rf scab b' seed treatment, changluj tr reaction by the use of sulfur and oitzr chemic ls, and b' the study of enVironuint 1 factors such as, moisture and temperature. ?owover, little work has been done to control scab in the soil bf chemical treatment.

In certain regions where potatoes are grown the soil if not originally infested with the scab onVinis», has with t e cor Itinued plantin of the crop, become so heavily infested that “he ever (TC condi t . .r‘ ;V C ‘O I; -'V 1": d '- .‘J ‘4‘ Iv" ‘,‘¢1r_',4-— ._ ’J _..‘ . ‘ v L: A . . 1Jn° “Ubh “D mv—bturv. tb~n ‘etd b. evil Yeac«-;n, and or? nic matter are favorable, a heavily scabbed cry; .roduced. Tuber treatment before planting while effective for the seed piece does not reduce the amount of scab in the soil that is badly infested. Sue to the fact that scab causes considerable damage and econnmic loss in potato growing regions, that the organism is soil borne, living in the soil as a saprophyte year after year, and that it is most virulent in neutral Or slightly alkaline soil, a practical control to be applied in the field would be of commercial value. Attempts were therefore made to find a practical neans of in- hibiting the scab organism by the application of chemicals in small quantities to the soil. To be of practical value, the chemical used should have the following properties: namely, that it will not injure the productive value of the soil, that it will not injure the growth of crOps, that it is rather inexpensive and that it can be applied with a fertilizer or as a fertilizer, and that it is effective in reducing the number of scab producing organisms in the soil. If all these properties could be found in one chemical, the losses caused by soil borne scab could be reduced to a minimum by a simple routine of soil treatment. -17- scorn or III"7TIG.3.TICII 1;th rn.733"::";rICI-* W“ M. I .\ '—- '1 \a‘. .-J."..'11, It has already been stated that the main object of this work was to determine if it were possible to disinfect the soil with chemicals in so far as the scab organism was concerned and thus con- trol the disease "potato scab". The results obtained from this phase of the work, however, have made it necessary to study the problem from different angles, namely, to isolate many strains of Actinonyces scabies, to test their pathogenicity; to determine the effect of the disinfecting chemicals employed upon these strains; to study the re- lation of soil moisture content to the effect of the chemicals on the soil microflora, and to a ltnited extent study the mycolcgical phase or taxonomy of the strains. Previous work on soil treatment other he sulfur for the prevention of scab is very limited. Halsted (21) treating the soil with corrosive sublimate, kainit, and copper sulfate, found that these chemicals added in sufficient quantity to reduce the amount of scab, also decreased the crop yield. In recent years more attention has given to treatuent of soil by chemicals for the control of in- fectious soil parasites, and at the present time work is being carried on for the control of scab by soil treatment. Nartin (44) using calomel, yellow oxide of mercury, formaldehyde and various organic mercury compounds, found them to be highly effective in New Jersey soils for controlling scab and Rhizoctonia. Work of a similar nrture is also in progress at the Nebraska and Wisconsin E periment Stations.

Checks were planted on the outer rows of each plot and in between the chemical rows, there being four rows of eficq caenictl in these :lots. It can be seen from tie results in Table I that caIOmel and yellow oxide were the least effective treatments and that all of the treat- of CD ments seemed to increase the anount of scab as fell as the degre scabbiness of the tubers. The two inorganic mercuries favored the production of scab in both plots, and the difference between then and he check rows as s own by the data was very evident at the time of digging. The tubers were all sorted into clean, and ii ht, medium, and heavy scab, each group of which was then courted, and the tubers in each division recorded in Table I. m “-q II D_ _ . ‘ A“ ~ . —.-. ‘ ‘ ‘i .. ~. _ . ‘ . , , J I n f! 7‘ . eu.upu o ‘Bglthu ‘1 .

The plot was planted to Russet Rurals June 5, 195l and harvested October 14, 1951. The soil was of a sandy t loam type and a fertiliaer had been aided before planting. There were 21 rows 1.30 feet long, 12 rows of checks and tires I‘ZD-TSS Cf each of the three treatments. It till be notic:d that the results in this plot do let conform to those .f any of the other glots. The chemical treatment here all gave'nore control than did the check rows. However, the gercentages of scabb; tubers are all so high that few if any conclusions can be drawn as to the effect of the Ch8¢lual on the scab organism,when considering this one indiv'dual plot. It is true that this section of the state received more rain than did any of those where the other plots were located, but comgtring W‘th the controlled moisture exoeriuents this would not exglain the results. Summary of results of evil treatments In considering the results of the field plots, it can be readily seen that the chemicals were not effective in the control as, slot ”6, was 4- L‘D of potato scab in any of the plots. In only one 0 there a greater percentage of clean tubers in the treated rows than in he checks. The chewicals did not all produce identical results but seened to produce preportionally the sane results in all plots. Duflay #955H and aluminum sulfate did not seem to vary from the check rows a great deal.

Summary of greenhouse soil treat ent results It can be seen from Table VII that the results obtained in the greenhouse are not the same as for the field and that the chemi- cals in this case did not alt r the amount of scebby tubers one way or the other r. The results f‘ntoi nod from the first planting of potatoes were not recorded becxuse Lrecticelly no scub developed end there was a possibility that the soil was not properl” infested with the scsb organism. The first and second crops of tubers were of the variety Russet Rural and the third crop wss plxnted to Irish Cob oler a fact that probably explains why the thir' crop v:es so much more scebbyt nan was the second crap. Cn the average the second crop showed slightly more scebbing in those rows that were treated with the mercury com- pounds than did the check rows.

They may be enwuereted as follows: (l) none of the chemi- cals used for soil treatments in tLe field and greenhouse gave defi- nite control for potato scab; (2) there was an increase in the amount of scub in comparison to the ch;cks when two of the chenicols, calo- mel and yellow oxide of mercury were applied to the soil; (3) the field results were all isken in the fall after a very dry sunner; (e) the number of Actinomyces increased in proportion to the number of bacteria in soils treated with calomel and yellow exile of mercury when held at the lowe' moisture gercentages w ich were 57 and ET; (5) some of the lctinomyces orearisns isclsted from the soil and po- tatoes were able to make some growth in the concentrated solutions of these two chemicals; (6) nearly all of the organisms were capable of making goo growth in these concentrated mercuriels unless in excess (“13 of the compound was ePled to keep the concentration up to s turstion; (7) some of these organises seemed to be stimulated for a short time by the weaker solutions of the chemicals; (E) 35 of the 57 strains were capable of producing scab on tubers; and (9) several of the strains that produced heavy scab on tubers made a linited growth in the concentrated solutions of colonel and yellow oxide of mercury. It could not be said that any of the chemicals controlled the scab in any de ree when applied as soil treatments. The rows which were treated with aluminwn sulfate showed a smellir percentage of scabby tubers than did the check rows and this was noticeably true of t.; « "51., I ~ . .11. -- - v uUval ovvexely SCauutG. euh1ver ttis tnest But firs 1 to 011v m. 12‘va 1 . 4.3.. .4 . a - - 1 1 J ~'L3 'nlvu ~U?m U41 5 +- n51.4em m‘~ V , , I."
