Comparison of take-all disease incidence among wheat classes and other small grains under irrigation in Saskatchewan

Abstract

The incidence of take-all disease was determined in several cultivars among three wheat classes (hard red spring wheat, Canada prairie spring wheat, and durum wheat), triticale, and barley grown under irrigation in Saskatchewan. There were few differences in disease incidence among cultivars within a crop type. However, there was more take-all in Canada prairie spring wheat cultivars than hard red spring wheat, durum wheat, and triticale; the lowest incidence of disease occurred on barley. Key words: Take-all, resistance, wheat, triticale, barley
