Wheat striate mosaic virus was detected in several corn plants at the South Dakota State University Southeast Experiment Farm near Beresford, South Dakota, in 1979. The virus was prevalent in hard red spring and durum wheats throughout North Dakota and northeastern South Dakota and was detected at one location in west central Minnesota the same year.
