Ga. Breeding and Culture for the Improvement in Production 



and Utilization of Sericea and Crimson Clover * To (l) select 

 and breed strains of sericea with low tannin content; (2) 

 increase and distribute seed of low tannin lines; (3) deter- 

 mine best cultural practices for production and use of sericea 

 and crimson clover; (5) develop more productive strains of 

 crimson clover with emphasis en disease resistance; and 

 (6) conduct variety and strain tests.

Idaho Pet elimination of Causes of Poor Growth of Legumes in 



Northern Idaho . To (l) find reason for poor growth of 

 legumes in crop rotations used in northern Idaho; and 

 (2) attempt to increase growth of legumes by use of soil 

 treatments, use of different strains of inoculation, or 

 by combinations of the two m.ethods.

Idaho Status of Small-Seeded LegiTame Viruses in Northern Idaho. 



(1) Learn the number of viruses or combination of viruses, and 

 what viruses are involved, which contribute to loss of stands 

 of legumes in pastures in Idaho. C2) Ascertain source of 

 inoculation by field surveys and collections. (3) Select for 

 resistance in clovers to infection by viruses studied,

111, A Study of Root Diseases of Legumes , (l) Identify 



organisms causing root diseases of legumes. (2) Study 

 morphology and taxonomic relationship of new or poorly 

 understood species. Learn: (3) pathogenicity, etiology, 

 host range, and host-parasite relations of fungi isolated 

 from diseased roots; (4) effect of environment on pathogenic 

 species and on disease developnent . (5) Search for possible 

 sources of resistance.

Ky. Virus Diseases of Forage Legumes . To determine (l) preva- 



lence, distribution, and identification of virus diseases of 

 forage legumes; (2) host range and relation of these viruses 

 to diseases of other economic crops, such as tobacco and 

 vegetables; (3) properties of these viruses and methods to 

 identify and classify them; (4) influence of these viruses on 



frowth, longevity, and economic value of their hosts; and 

 5) devise methods of control, including search for resistant 

 breeding stocks.
