A quarantine on bringing grains and other possible host materials into Utah from areas affected by Karnal bunt disease was declared this week by Utah Commissioner of Agriculture Cary Peterson Utah State University plant scientist David Hole said the threat of bringing the Karnal bunt fungus into the state should be taken very seriously The Utah quarantine is adopted from a quarantine order from the US Department of Agriculture aimed at containing Karnal bunt which has been detected widely in Arizona and in parts of New Mexico and Texas Peterson has also called for a survey of wheat and w heat seed products in Utah in an attempt to prev ent the disease from gaining a foothold in the state Hole a wheat specialist said he is very concerned that Karnal bunt will find its way to Utah "People who have brought in seed from other states should be especially concerned" he said "It is more important than ev er to buy certified seed to be certain it is free of disease” Hole said the fungi that cause Karnal bunt and dwarf bunt diseases arc related but the mode of infecting plants is diflcrcnl Dwarf bunt spores arc in the soil and affect the plants grown in infected fields Karnal bunt spores infect the ovule of the flower and seed Hole explained The first generation of fected plants and seeds appear normal and can be milled although formation from the Utah Department of Agriculture (UDA) indicates the fungus adv ersely affects the color odor and palatability of flour and other products If infected seeds are planted the wheat they produce will have unusable heads with seeds covered with large dark dusty spores known as smut Hole adds that the spores then easily blow onto other fields "Ifjust two to four percent of your field is infected with bunt the wheat becomes unfit to use for anything” Hole said Farmers who grow their own seed should watch their fields carefully for weeds and disease Hole said Because fungus spores easily travel on the wind keep a close watch on neighboring fields as well Again he urges growers to buy certified seed to avoid introducing Karnal bunt The disease was detected in durum wheat seed in Arizona earlier this month UDA information said to date Karnal bunt has been confined to four varieties of duram wheat — Rcva Ocotillo Durcx and Kronos Hole said little durum wheat is grown in Utah but Karnal bunt can infect any variety of wheat or triticalc (a hybrid of wheat and rye) The USDA has cut off wheat shipments to 2 countries that list Kamal bunt in their import regulations The US is the world s leading wheat exporter with an export market valUtah’s ued at about $49 billion 1995 wheat crop is valued at $399 million Karnal bunt disease was first arported in 93 in eas of the Indian Stale of Haryana near the city of Karnal Since then it has been found in all major w areas of India Pakistan Karnal bunt Iraq and Afghanistan may hav e been present in Mexico since 1970 and has been well established in northwestern Mexico since 1982 SCD vote Utah’s Highway Death Toll As of March 29 1996 results posted Year to Date 1996 -
