Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ...in alkaline soils and is favored by moisture. Wood ashes, potash, soda, stable manure, lime etc., increasing alkalinity, favor the growth of the fungus, and cause increase in the amount of scab in soil already infected. Materials which tend to decrease scab are commercial fertilizers, potash salts (except carbonate), land plaster, and ammonium sulphate. Rotation of crops tends to diminish the amount of scab, provided other susceptible crops, as beets, turnips, cabbages, etc., are avoided. A three-year rotation without a susceptible crop largely reduces it, though after five or even ten years the disease is not entirely exterminated. During rotation any practice 1 Jones, L. R., U.S. Dept. Agr. Bur. Plant Indus. Bui. 87. 'Thaxter, R., Ct. State Agr. Exp. Sta. Rpt. 14, pp. 81-95. that increases the acidity of the soil aids in reducing the scab. Thus plowing under green crops is a favorable practice. In general it may be said that scabby seed potatoes in any soil will produce a scabby crop, but the amount of scab is determined somewhat by the soil condition. Seed potatoes free from scab, in a soil free from scab, will raise a crop free from scab. Seed potatoes free from scab will not produce a healthy crop if grown in an infected soil. There is much difference in varietal resistance to scab. The more resistant varieties should be used on soil at all scab infested. Cambridge Russett, Carmen Ng. 3, American Giant, Sir Walter Raleigh, Irish Cobbler, Scab Proof, and Aurora are recommended by the Maryland Station as possessing some scab resistance.1 Two conditions arise requiring different cultural methods: --1. The management of clean soils. 2. The management of soils already infected. If the land is free from infection, great care should be exercised to avoid intro...
