Barley Yellow Dwarf - Sources and Spread

Sources and Spread

There are two main sources by which a cereal crop might be infected

1. By non-migrant wingless aphids already present in the field and which colonise newly-emerging crops. This is known as "green-bridge transfer".

2. By winged aphids migrating into crops from elsewhere. These then reproduce and the offspring spread to neighbouring plants.

Famous quotes containing the words sources and/or spread:

    “Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)

    “I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I’ve never done before.”
    —Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
