Abstract

These findings are discussed in relation to the potential of multiline varieties as a means of achieving stable, long-term control of plant diseases. It is concluded that “dirty crop” and “partially resistant” multilines will provide stable disease control in crop plants only in limited and relatively rare circumstances.
