Loose smut of barley is caused by "Ustilago nuda".cite book
last = Martens
first = J.W.
coauthors = W.L. Seaman, T.G. Atkinson
title = Diseases of field crops in Canada
publisher = Canadian Phytopathological Society
date = 1984
pages = 160 pp ] It is a disease that can destroy a large proportion of a barley crop.

Symptoms

Loose smut first becomes visible at heading time. Masses of smut spores replace the entire head of plants, except for the rachis. Smutted heads often emerge before healthy heads. Spores are dislodged and scattered by wind soon after emergence. The fungus infects open flowers and becomes established in the embryo of the developing seed. The spore masses look like those of false loose smut, but are lighter in color.

Management

The presence of loose smut in barley seed can be tested for. To reduce the incidence of this disease it is recommended to grow smut-free seed. Treat seed with effective, registered seed treatments.

Varieties

Varieties of "Ustilago nuda" are:
*"Ustilago nuda" var. "foliicola" Trotter
*"Ustilago nuda" var. "hordei" C.N. Jensen,
*"Ustilago nuda" var. "nuda" (C.N. Jensen) Rostr.
*"Ustilago nuda" var. "tritici" G.W. Fisch. & C.G. Shaw
