Summary
Since 1928 we have found sporadic outbreaks of a new disease in tulips that only in one case seemed to be of economic importance.
At first a parasite could not be found till the descriptions of tobacco-necrosis virusdiseases lead us to the cause of the disease.
During the war the culture of potatoes and tobacco in the bulb district increased and also the complaints about the disease became more frequent than before. Since the last years, however, possibly by the stopping of the tobacco-culture and by less use of the potatoes as a rotation crop, the frequency of the complaints has been considerably decreased.
In Holland the disease got the name: Augusta-ziek, by the fact that the first great outbreak of this disease concerned a stock of E.V.T. Augusta.
