Abstract

The results of experimental applications of whole milk and whey to stripe mosaic virus inoculum or to barley plants prior to inoculation in the greenhouse established that contact transmission of stripe mosaic of barley was strongly inhibited by both milk and whey. Similarly, both skim milk and whey reduced the spread of field infection when applied as a spray. The low cost of whey suggests its possible economic utilization in the commercial control of virus diseases of plants.
