Abstract/Summary: | |
ccurate disease assessment is necessary to evaluate the seedling infection response and to estimate crop loss in barley. To identify infection responses in barley to Cochliobolus sativus, a 1-9 numerical rating scale was developed based on disease symptoms displayed on a diverse collection of barley germplasm. Nine infection phenotypes (IPs) were classified on the basis of lesion size and type. IPs 1 and 2 had minute round necrotic lesions with no chlorosis and indicated a highly resistant host response. IPs 3 and 4 consisted of short (;A multispectral radiometer was tested for its ability to assess disease severity and estimate crop loss. The multispectral radiometer data were highly significant in estimating yield ;In contrast, visual disease assessments and area under the disease progress curve values had low correlation... |
