The effect of milo disease on grain and forage yields of sorghum
1949
Quinby, J.R. | Karper, R.E.
Milo disease, caused by Periconia circinata (Mang.) Sacc., a malady of sorghum that kills the roots of susceptible varieties, has been present in the United States for about 20 years. The disease suddenly became widespread during the drought years of the 1930's and resistant strains were quickly found, increased, and distributed. Yield trials for 10 years at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations at Chillicothe and 9 years at Lubbock indicate that losses of 50 to 60% can be expected whenever a susceptible variety is grown on infested soil. Fortunately, resistant strains of susceptible varieties have been selected and such losses can be avoided if precaution is taken to purchase seed of the resistant strains.
