A new rice disease called brusone
has developed in Italy. where consid.
erable rice is produced. Prof. Ubri-
ri, who has been investigating the
matter, concludes that the disease is
due to some functional disturbance
of the root system of the plants and
is not caused by fungi or other para.
sites. 1t seems possible so to dis
turb the nomal activities of the plant
as to make it readily attacked by diff
ferent fungi, but the disease can
originate independently of all para.
sitic attacks.
