Thomson, Pathologist, Utah State University, urges growers to guard against its entrance to the State and to watch for its appearance in fields if it does enter. The disease is Verticilium wilt. U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers estimate that it has cost growers over $1 million in the past three years. They say it has infested over 500,000 acres in Washington, Oregon and Canada and has more recently been found in Idaho. Thomson explained that it can cut yields by half within 3 years after it has infested a field. Yet Utah growers presently have no resistant alfalfa varieties they can turn to once the disease appears. Long rotation will be about their only means of control. He said growers may recognize the disease by its symptoms; area on the yellow growing leaves which later turn brown, stems standing erect and green until the leaves are dead, then the stems begin to die. The symptoms usually become evident the second year after a field becomes infected. Guard against bringing the disease into Utah. Buy only good quality clean seed, and avoid buying hay from infected areas, Thomson advised. He said the disease is most likely to enter the State via infected hay and debris in poorly cleaned seed. 1 also can be transmitted by wind and November, 1979 Frank Chappell Science News Editor AMA county Farm Bureau annual ness meetings by the farmers and ranchers in those counties, Mr. Nishiguchi explained.
