DISEASES OF ALFALFA
AND THEIR TREATMENT
Study Enemies Important Forage Plant
BY G. F. Freeman, Assistant BOtanist, Kansas.

Red rootrot, although not 80 at
present. is likely to become the most
destructive disease OF alfalfa. II has
long been known IN Europe, where the
death OF half the crop within one or
two seasons has been recorded. II IL
now rapidly spreading In the alfalfa
fields In Kansas and will in the near
future most probably demand the most
serious attention OF both the farmer
and the experiment station authori-
ties.
The disease begins in different parts
of the field where at FIRST a single
plant may die. From this center OF
infection the fungus grows in all d.
rections through the soil. killing the
plants as II proceeds. Thus a circle
Of steadily increasing radius Is formed,
at the edge Of which plants In an

stages OF the disease may be found.
The first external sign OF the disease
is a yellowing Of the plant, which soon
after withers and dies. On pulling up
a dead or dying plant the roots win be
found to be covered with a violet or
brownish-red mat Of fungus strands or
hyphae. The infected area spreads
from three to twenty feet in all direc-
tions in a season. The dying is most
rapid during the hot months Of sum
mer. The fungus threads grow into
the bark OF the roots as far as the
camblum layer, which they kill. The
plant is thus girdled and will there
fore soon die. This fungus forms dark
knot-like tubers. which are said by
Prunet to live in the ground two OF
three years. He therefore recon-
mends that badly diseased fields should
not be cropped to clover or alfalfa for
several years.
A thoroughly practical means Of con-
trolling this disease is not known.
Digging a trench around the spots
from one and half to two feet deep
and working into the soil heavy appli-
cations Of lime or sulphur have been
recommended as being beneficial in
some instances, but with these treat

It is best to cut the alfalfa, whether
II is ready or not, and allow the hay
to remain on the ground long enough
to become thoroughly dry, after which
II should be burned over. OF course,
by this means one crop is lost, but it
will repay the loss in the increase OF
subsequent crops ON account Of the
morc effectual destruction OF the fun
gus spores.
Rust causes round or elongated pus-
tules on the under side Of the leaves.
The epidermis is ruptured, disclosing
a mass Of reddish-brown spores. The
rust pustule may be easily distin-
guished from the leaf-spot by the fact
that in the former the epidermis is
plainly ruptured, whereas in the leaf
spot this is not evident except in
cross-section and by use OF the com
pound miscoscope While rather com
mon. this rust does not seem to have
caused serious loss in the alfalfa-heIds
OF this country. Methods Of treat
ment or control have not therefore
been investigated.
Downy mildew is at first made no
ticeable by the large, irregular yell

low or white areas on the upper side
of the leaf. Upon examining the low
er surface of such leaf it will be
found to be covered by a downy gray
felt. This felt consists Of thousands
Of tiny branching gray threads or
stalks which protrude through the
stomata or breathing pores from the
interior Of the leaf and which bear the
spores Of the fungus in grape-llke clus-
ters. These spores are carried by the
wind to other leaves Of alfalfa or
clover, on which they germinate and
produce an internal mycelium. The
fungus is carried over winter BY
means of resting spores, which are
formed inside Of the old leaves in the
late sunmer and autumn. In the early
spring. when the new growth is espe-
cially tender warm damp weather may
SO favor this disease that it may cause
considerable damage. In fact, this has
been the case in one. field of alfalfa on
Hunters island, near Manhattan. Kan.
during the month of May 1907. but in
q normal season and after the first
cutting there will probably be but lit
tie to fear from 1t.
Anthracnose has caused consider
able injury in the clover and alfalfa
fields OF Tennessee. 1t appears to at
tack the petioles of the leaves during
hot summer weather. Many flower
heads are killed by the fungus attack
ing the stems just below the clusters.
During the period Of seed-ripening
whole plants may be killed By the
diaRaHe attacking TIE stems just ct or
slightly below the surface Of The
ground.

ments success has by no means been
uniform. 1t is the opinion of the writ
er that this disease should receive the
most serious attention of both the
farmers and experiment station work
ers throughout the alfalfa-growing
states, in order that, if possible, some
practicable means may be found Of
eradicating or controlling it before it
becomes so widespread as to serious
ly threaten the profits now derived
from alfalfa growing.
Leaf spot was first described by Lii
bert, in France, in 1882, but 1t is now
found In practically every part of the
world where alfalfa is grown. In 1891
Prof. Pammei estimated the loss from
the disease in Iowa to be as high as.
so per cent. Of the total yield.
When the plants are about one-half
grown it appears as yelloWish-bFpwn

:. The. most pracl.cal treatment for
this disease is frequent cutting All
Of the hay should be removed from
the field as early as possible In order
that few shattered leaves may be left

OF the spores are removed from tho

Of the leaf also. Badly affected leaves
will turn yellow and drop of, thus
reducing the forage value of the hay
by making 1t more stemmy. The yield
is also reduced through thesloss of the
fallen leaves and by the weakening Of
the plant. The brown spots are
caused by the growth Of fungus
threads or mycelium through the In
terror tissues of the leaf, which they
destroy and cause to turn brown. Soon
mats of fungus tissue are formed
which produce small pustules near the
center of the spot These pustules
consist Of numerous sack-like bodies,
each of which bears eight spores. Be

seen nonspore-bearing threads which
are called paraphyses. When the
