Abstract

In experiments at S. Dak. agric. Exp. Sta., Brookings, Sphacelotheca reiliana collected from maize [cf. 38, 140] and injected into seedlings of sweet corn and grain sorghum infected the former, but failed to infect the latter, while S. reiliana from sorghum [36, 315] infected both maize and sorghum. It is thus inferred that head smutted sorghum may be a source of inoculum for head smut on some maize vars.
