Caldwell and Prentice1 emphasized in 1942 the value of seed-bed isolation in the control of cauliflower mosaic virus, which in Devon has seriously reduced yields of broccoli. Experimental work at this College has shown that infection in the seed-bed can still be the main cause of reduced yield, even when conditions favour extensive spread of virus in the field after planting.
