Abstract
SUMMARY Seven commercial barley varieties were inoculated with mycelial suspensions of different isolates of Gescosporella herpotrichoides. There were significant varietal differences in eyespot susceptibility. There were significant differences between isolates which originated from both wheat and barley. The yield of the varieties was reduced between 30 and 50% depending upon the isolate used. Significant interactions between isolates and varieties were found for the incidence of disease, its effect on tiller number and upon total yield.Keywords
