A severe epiphytotic of wheat streak mosaic on winter wheat developed during the fall of 1963 in areas of southern Alberta where a severe spring drought delayed the development of spring grains until after heavy rains fell late in June, The resulting predominance of late-maturing spring wheat and barley that harboured the virus and its vector (Aceria tulipae K.) until late September, together with record-breaking warm weather throughout September and October favored the exceptional spread and aevere development of the disease even on winter wheat sown when normally recommended.
