Insect studies in relation to cranberry false-blossom disease.

In a limited number of experiments carried on during 1924 and 1925, several insects were determined not to be transmitters of the false-blossom disease of cranberries. Healthy cranberry seedlings grown in Yonkers became diseased in the bogs at Toms River, New Jersey. Because of its presence in regions where this disease occurs, and because of its abundance and activity in the bogs in New Jersey during the season of 1926 when this disease was spreading rapidly, the blunt-nosed leafhopper, Euscelis striatulus Fall. is suspected of being the agent for the spread of cranberry false-blossom.
