Blame Insects if Seeds Don't Sprout :

By Selenes Service YONKERS, N, Y,, Apr. 11 less than half of your carrot seeds sprout, blame it on the Iygus bugs. nce that these inconspicuous, “average-looking,” quarter-inch-long insects are to blame for wholesale failure of seeds of the carrot family to germinate and produce new plants is presented in the new issue of Science by Miss Florence Fleminoa of the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Re-|’ search here. . BSeed-producing plants of carrot and dill were placed in Insecttight cages, and various kinds of insects were caged with them. The plants with which lygus bugs were caged produced very high percentages of seed without embryos, hence incapable of sprouting. Those caged with other kinds of insects, but with lygus bugs gxeiudea, produced full crops of normal seed, complete with embryos. Although only carrot and dill were used in Miss Fleminoa’s experiments, there is reason to believe that the results hold good for: other members of the family
