Diseases of wheat in India other than rusts and smuts
Wheat diseases in India were last summarized in 1961. This paper describes diseases of wheat noted during the past 2 years, with the exception of rust and smuts. Leaf spot diseases were widespread; Helminthosporium sorokineanum and Alternaria triticina were the most important pathogens. Locally, diseases caused by Septoria tritici and S. nodorum were severe. The nematode diseases, ear cockie and molya, were widespread. Other diseases, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, black point, root rot and seedling blight, and virus diseases, occur but their importance is largely unknown.
