Seedling Blight

Seedling Blight
SEEDLING BLIGHT (Flax)
A flax seed disease, the cause of which is a fungus, which occurs on the seed. The disease is transmitted by the sowing of infected seed, and primary infection of the seedlings occurs from the seed, at or soon after brairding. Seed for sowing purposes should never be saved from a crop which has suffered from " seedling blight." Attempts have been made to disinfect infected seed, and thus render it safe for sowing, but no method which is satisfactory on a practical scale has yet been evolved. (Carter.)
