Abstract In the USA, BSMV has been economically significant only in Montana and North Dakota (Carroll, 1983). Between 1953 and 1970 the total loss in barley caused by this virus was calculated at more than US$ 30 million. In 1964 the virus caused damage estimated at over US$ 3.1 million (Carroll, 1980). Yield reductions in barley were 24-46% when BSMV was inoculated mechanically (Chiko and Barker, 1978; Carroll, 1980). In most states of the USA and also in most other countries where it occurs, the economic significance of BSMV has decreased (Carroll, 1983). For further information, see Carroll (1986). The impact of mild strains of BSMV on barley yield is substantially lower (Jezewska, 2006).
