Federal, state and private tobacco researchers are in the, thick of the never-ending fight against these plant diseases, which cost flue cured growers irohV 175,000,000 to $100,000,000 annually. i . They believe selective breeding of disease-resistant strains Js one of the; most effective weapons at their command. ; '-'jh ) : ?t u: Some , xt the most Important plant-breeding work is being done at Coker's Pedigreed Seed com pany's experimental farms near hereof ' Seed breeders, usually kept on the defensive, have done little more than hold the line against' annual Josses , of about 15 per cent. Their research gains have been canceled bx the spread.of diseases to other This loss could be cut consider ably, researchers say, if more grow ers use disease-resistant of tobacco. Among the worst diseases are meadow nematode, which Causes brown root rot, and the root knot mematodes. The mematode is a tiny worm-like organism that set tles In the roots. It reduces yield and quality, and' sometimes kills the plant. - - Other dangerous, but compara tively .Tare, enemies are Granville wilt, caused by a bacteria, and fusarium wilt, caused by a fungus. Both have been localized, but year by year appear in new sections. Another, localized but deadly dis ease Is black shank. It has spread from 'North Carolina and now is found in parts of Dillon and Darl ington counties of South Carolina. It is another fungus disease. - All these diseases are soUborne. There" is also the deadly moslac virus, which Is carried over from season: to season on infected plant parts and from plant to plant in the field by insects and workers. And, as If this collection 'of ail- menta- weren't enough. ., tobacco nlititr alan iro attacked hv sore shin1 and stem rot, which makesl plant topple over; black root rot, just what the name implies, back fire and wildfire, which spot the leaves; hollow stalk, which decays ; the pip of the stalk; irogeye, cau sing yellow spots and killing some leaves; ring spot, bringing dlscolor- ' ed spots to the leaves; ana otner less serious diseasea. The average farmer does all he can to avoid planting in disease bearing soil. But the Coker re search deliberately selects these soils and plant other - susceptable crops to Increase the infestation. Within these plots plants are sel ected and bagged to prevent cross polinatlon. Tho plants are studied closely. Croppings are taken from selected plants a"hd cured to de termine texture, quality and' other characteristics, , . - ; ; , :The breeders then select around 1800 jot the best plants for use In next year's breeding plots. Seed from these plants are plant ed In the nurseries for epntinued inbreeding, re-selection and study.
