- Abstract
This article highlights a study on the reactions of lucerne strains to <em>Verticillium albo-atrum</em>. Detailed observations were made in 1953 and 1954 on the twelve strains of lucerne planted on a field in Great Britain. The plants showed the most severe symptoms of wilt towards the end of the summer and during the autumn of 1954. In general, a number of factors affect the persistency of plants, but the extremely high proportion of death in infected plants as compared with that in healthy plants indicates that in all strains the main cause of mortality was the fungus. There was no great variation between strains in the severity of disease, but again the high mortality in Grimm strain was rather outstanding.
