Abstract
P. pratensis cultivars, experimental lines, and blends were evaluated for stem rust [Puccinia graminis] reaction under field conditions. A complete range of stem rust reaction was found. Galaxy, Bonnieblue, Nugget, Sydsport, Glade, Majestic and Fanfare were among the most resistant cultivars, and Vantage was among the most susceptible. Half of all cultivars evaluated showed < 20% prevalance. Rust prevalence in polystands approximated the average prevalence of the respective cultivars when grown as a pure line.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
