Many failures hitherto attributed to 

 poor germination, in the opinion of the 

 specialists, are due in reality to the 

 work of the damping-off parasites in the 

 sprouting seed, underground. The high 

 price of most evergreen seed, which 

 ranges from a minimum of 50 cents per 

 pound for western yellow pine to $2 to 

 $4 per pound quoted for native spruces, 

 and even $5 to $10 per pound for Nor- 

 way pine, makes the loss of young seed- 

 lings a serious expense. 



To assist nurserymen in controlling 

 damping-oflF, the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture conducted exten- 

 sive experiments in various sections of 

 the country. The methods employed in 

 these experiments and the success at- 

 tending their use are reported fully in 

 i'rofessional Paper No. 453, "The Con- 

 trol of Damping-Oflf of Coniferous Seed- 

 lings," by Carl Hartley, forest pathol- 

 ogist, and Roy G. Pierce, forest assist- 

 ant, Bureau of Plant Industry, 



To decrease losses from the disease, 

 \^^ PJ'ged, excessive moisture and shade 

 Should be avoided. Caution must be 

 used in following this recommendation, 

 or many seedlings may be killed by 

 •^rought or by white-spot injury to the 

 oase of the stem. Damping-off can often 

 ,„®.,"^"eased by putting beds on sandy

inicker than necessary. It appears bet-

ter to sow broadcast than in drills. Late 

 fall sowing results in decreased losses 

 at some nurseries and is worth trial. 

 Proper attention to all of these meas- 

 ures will decrease the losses from damp- 

 ing-off, but at most nurseries they are 

 not sufBcient really to control the dis- 

 ease. 



The addition of lime, wood ashes, 

 and in some £ases nitrogenous fertil- 

 izers seems to increase damping-off. 

 The use of unrotted stable manure has 

 had bad results; properly rotted ma- 

 nures seem .less objectionable. 



Soil disinfection has so far proved" 

 the best method of combating damping- 

 off. Of many methods tested, treat- 

 ments with sulphuric acid, copper sul- 

 phate, zinc chloride and formaldehyde

have proved the most satisfactory. The 

 disinfectants, however, behave quite 

 differently at different nurseries. In ad- 

 dition to decreasing damping-off after 

 the seedlings come up, the chemical dis- 

 infectants, when properly used, cause 

 an increase in the apparent germination 

 and are very helpful in controlling 

 weeds. This latter effect alone at some 

 nurseries pays the entire expense of the
