Abstract/Contents: | "Ustilago syntherismae, which causes loose smut of large and smooth crabgrass, infects its host systemically and prevents seed production. In the field, diseased plants were usually not observed until late in the growing season, well after crabgrass had commenced flowering. Greenhouse experiments were carried out to determine the mode of infection, the disease incidence that can be obtained by artificial inoculation, and the reasons for the late observance of the disease. U. syntherismae infected large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) by both inoculation of seed (vacuum-infiltration with a suspension of teliospores of dusting with dry teliospores) and application of teliospores to the surface of potting mix containing germinating seeds. Disease incidence was high (80-100%) in some treatments. Emergence of the inflorescences of infected plants was delayed by 2-5 weeks compared to those of healthy plants. |
