Studies on the relative merits of different methods of inoculating seed of oats with smut seem to show the following: 1. Immersing the seed in a smut-spore suspension under vacuum may result in infection percentages as high as those resulting from hulling the seed and dusting it with spores. 2. Inoculation by the latter method in addition to being extremely laborious may cause a severe reduction in emergence and stand, even in smut-resistant varieties. 3. The suspension-vacuum method offers a quick and effective way of inoculating large numbers of oat seeds with spores of loose or covered smut. untreated wheat was very similar.
