Yellow Leaf, Dwarf Disease
Attack Small Grain Crops
By R. M. WILLIAMS
CouMy Agricultural Agent
The yellow leaf disease of oats
appeared throughout the south
eastern United States in the spring
of 1957. The young leaves of af
fected oat plants appear bright
yellow when growth is resumed in
the spring. Sometimes the tips of
young leaves are green and the
lower portions yellow.
Associated with this disease also
is a yellow-green striping of the
leaves. Ttie leaves are green along
the veins and yellow between the
veins. The disease usually occurs
in patches in the field, although
sometimes it occurs in streaks.
This disease has been under in
vestigation in Georgia, South Car
olina, and North Carolina since
1B57. The cause of the disease is
not known. It seems at present,
that perhaps more than one factor
is involved in producing the yel
low symptoms.
The disease is apparently influ
enced by environmental factors.
It appears to be more prevalent
in early planted oats and with high
levels of nitrogen fertilization.
There is no evidence at present
that the disease is caused by a par
ticular source of nitrogen. The
Victorgrain appears to be the most

susceptible of the commonly grown
varietiel.
Fulgrain I* almost is susceptible
as Victorgrain. Arlington and Lee
are much more resistant to the
disease although some yellow
plants may occur in these varie
ties.
The other disease that attacks
small grain, referred to earlier as
yellow dwarf, is a virus disease
and is transmitted from one plant
to another by ?n insect called the
aphid. This disease causes a Hunt
ing and reduction in yield In all
three crops. In North Carolina,
oats are more severely affected
than wheat and barley.
The leaves of infected oat plants
usually turn red. The disease in
oats is also called "Red leaf". In
wheat and barley the leaves of in
fected plants usually show a yel
lowish discoloration. The yellow
ing begins at the leaf tip and pro
fesses toward the base. Hie veins
of the leaf frequently remain green
longer than the areas between the
veins.
Workers in other states and in
Canada have found that a number
of wild and cultivated grass spe
' cies are hosts of the yellow dwarf
virus. Orchard grass, tall fescue,
ryegrass and some of the broom
grasses are hosts of the virus al
though in many rases the infected
grass plants show no symptoms.
The yellow dwarf virus is not
seed-borne. It cannot survive from
season to season in the soil nor in
dead grain straw. It can survive
only in living plants or in living
aphids.
Attempts to control the yellow
dwarf disease by controlling the
aphid with insecticides have given
variable results.
While no small grain variety is
known to be immune to the yellow
dwarf virus, some var eties are
more severely damaged than oth
I ers. Field observations and green
house inoculations in the seedling
' stage indicate that Arlington is
ithe most resistant of our common
I ly grown oat varieties.
