Variability In Wheat Yield Under Yellow Rust Pressure In Pakistan, Sajid Ali, Syed Jawad Ahmed Shah, Hidayat-Ur Rahman, Muhammad Shahab Saqib, Muhammad Ibrahim, Muhammad Sajjad

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Wheat yield of 37 wheat varieties along with a susceptible check, Morocco, was studied under yellow rust pressure across 3 locations of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), Pakistan during 2007. Considerable high disease pressure, as revealed by yellow rust severity, was observed at all locations with the maximum (100%) at Cereal Crop Research Institute (CCRI), Nowshera. Disease severity ranged from 0% to 70% for the tested varieties while reached 100% for Morocco with S type of host response. We report the presence of sufficient variability across locations for both yield potential and yellow rust severity. Locations with maximum disease pressure …


Determination Of Pathogenic Variability Of Didymella Rabiei, The Agent Of Ascochyta Blight Of Chickpea In Turkey, Muharrem Türkkan, F. Sara Dolar Jan 2009

Determination Of Pathogenic Variability Of Didymella Rabiei, The Agent Of Ascochyta Blight Of Chickpea In Turkey, Muharrem Türkkan, F. Sara Dolar

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Pathogenic characterization of 64 Didymella rabiei isolates obtained from 5 different regions in Turkey was determined with a set of 7 different chickpea cultivars (ILC 1929, F8, ICC 1903, ILC 249, ILC 482, ILC 3279, and ICC 3996). All the isolates were classified into both 3 pathotypes and 6 physiological races. Of the isolates used in this study, it was determined that 38 (59.4%) belonged to pathotype I, 3 (4.7%) to pathotype II, and 23 (35.9%) to pathotype III. Pathotypes I and III were determined in 5 regions of Turkey including the Mediterranean, Aegean, Southeastern Anatolia, Central Anatolia, and Black …
