Abstract
Covered kernel smut, caused by Sphacelotheca sorghi (Link) Clinton, has been considered one of the commonest and most destructive diseases of sorghum (Sorghum vulgare Pers.) in the United States. By using differential sorghum varieties, Melchers, Ficke, and Johnston (5) revealed the existence of five physiologic races of S. sorghi. They found one selection of Spur feterita, designated K.B. 2540,3 to be completely resistant to all five races. Using Spur feterita, K.B. 2540, as the source of resistance, the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station has developed acceptable covered kernel smut resistant strains of combine grain sorghum. Although these strains were developed without knowledge.........
