Abstract

Abstract does not appear. First page follows.

A number of plant pathologists have called attention to a disease of carrots having most of the characteristic symptoms of yellows, but whether it was caused by the aster-yellows virus remained to be determined.

In New York, Whetzel⁽⁸⁾ reported a yellows disease of carrots ranging from a trace to 25 per cent infection in the Williamson area. Folsom⁽¹⁾ found apparently the same carrot disease as described by Whetzel, at Orono, Maine, and on the experimental farm in the southwestern part of the state. Zundel⁽⁹⁾ reported observations of yellows believed to be caused by the aster-yellows virus in carrots in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Vaughan and Foster⁽⁷⁾ found a disease of carrots in Wisconsin resembling aster yellows and assumed that it may be due to the same virus. The diseased carrots were growing adjacent to an experimental aster-yellows plot. Newhall⁽³⁾ reported a disease of carrots thought to be due to the aster-yellows virus in Wayne and Oswego counties, New York.
