Abstract:	Response was monitored during 2 growing seasons for chlorotic leaf area, leaf rugosity, and canopy width and height reduction. Symptoms were most severe on Centennial and Forrest and mildest on Davis. Yield losses were 3-13% in 1981 and 4-10% in 1982. Yield reductions were correlated with both chlorotic leaf area and leaf rugosity. Inoculated Ransom and Centennial (but not Davis) had greater leaf chlorophyll concn after flowering than uninoculated plants. Plants inoculated at the 2-leaf stage (V2) developed the most severe symptoms, whereas the mildest symptoms developed in plants inoculated at the V9 growth stage. Degree of symptom expression of inoculated, greenhouse-grown plants during the winter differed from that observed in the field
