Synopsis Barley stripe mosaic virus has caused severe losses in spring wheat yields and moderate losses in test‐weights in experimental trials in Montana since 1956. Field readings for incidence of virus show the disease has increased in Pilot and Centana, has about maintained itself in Rescue, and has decreased in Lee, C.I. 13041, C.I. 13042, Supreme, and Thatcher. Greenhouse plantings showed that storage had little or no effect on the percentage of seed which carried the virus.
