Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on Rust or Mildew on Wheat Plants, 1892 The Board of Agriculture, having had repeatedly brought under their notice the extensive losses sustained by agriculturists from the presence of Rust or Mildew in wheat, have deemed it desirable to publish the following summary of the information collected in the summer of 1892 from various observers of the circumstances of this year´s attack in different parts of England. In order, at the same time, to place before wheat growers the conclusions of former investigations, and the results of the more recent researches into this matter abroad, and in order to recall attention to the leading features of the life history of this destructive and widely-prevalent fungus, Mr. Whitehead was requested to append to his report on the replies of the representative agriculturists, selected by him to give their experience in the past season, a series of more general notes on the points above indicated. He has also materially increased the usefulness of the report by the coloured illustrations supplied, exhibiting the various phases of the fungoid attacks now the subject of examination. It is to be regretted that out of 144 agriculturists addressed by the Board in June last, with a request for co-operation by supplying the details of their experience, only thirty-seven have found themselves in a position to furnish precise replies - founded on their own observations - to the schedule of questions issued. The reports received, however, embrace the experience of gentlemen residing in as many as twenty-six different counties. In all but seven of these counties more or less disastrous attacks of rust were experienced in 1892. Few indications of novel explanations of the phenomena in question have been supplied by the reporters, although the connection between extensive attacks of mildew and sudden atmospheric changes and untimely frosts has again, as in all earlier inquiries, formed a prominent subject of comment.
