Symptoms of covered smut of barley. The diseased plants head at about the same time as healthy plants. They are recognizable by their blackened ears that emerge from the leaf sheaths. All the ears in a diseased plant and all the grains in a diseased ear are attacked by the disease. All the grains in a diseased ear are transformed into masses of spores which are held in place by persistent, tough, greyish-white membrane.

CONT

Carbón cubierto: dadas las características de la enfermedad, es muy difícil reconocer plantas enfermas en el cultivo. Las espigas afectadas quedan erectas y de menor altura, sin estar inclinadas como las espigas llenas y con una coloración verde azulada. Los granos son más cortos y gruesos con un tegumento muy fino que deja ver una masa oscura de clamidosporas, que se rompen ante leves presiones; está es la forma en que se infectan los granos sanos durante las cosecha. Otra características es el olor desagradable, a pescado en descomposición, producido por las liberación de trimetilamina.
