Abstract
In 1948, at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, over 50 per cent. of jowar [sorghum] plants inoculated with spore suspensions of Tolyposporium ehrenbergii [R.A.M., 29, p. 152] (by forcing a needle into the boot enclosing the young inflorescences) developed typical infection after two to three weeks, the number of sori produced in individual ears varying from one to 12. The investigation confirmed that long smut infection is air-borne [ibid., 25, p. 32] and that it takes place when the flowers are still enclosed or at the time when they emerge [ibid., 29, p. 152]. It is suggested that weed-grasses may be sources of infection, and cross-inoculation experiments are in progress.
