Abstract
We are amending the Karnal bunt regulations by adding Imperial County, CA, and a portion of Riverside County, CA, to the list of areas quarantined because of infestations of Karnal bunt. We are also adding Tilletia indica (Mitra) Mundkur, the organism that causes Karnal bunt, to the list of restricted articles. This action is necessary on an emergency basis to prevent the artificial spread of Karnal bunt, a serious fungal disease of wheat, durum wheat, and triticale, into noninfected areas of the United States.
