  • Effects of intercropping beans with maize on angular leaf spot and rust of beans

    Creator:
    Boudreau, Mark Alan, 1958-
    Abstract:
    Experiments were performed to determine the nature of maize influence on bean disease in additive-type intercrops. Overall effects of intercrops on angular leaf spot (caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola) in Kenya indicated >23% reductions (P<0.05) in area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) in two of three season-site combinations. Fertilization tended...

  • Factors influencing the effects of host diversity on plant disease epidemics for wheat stripe rust and potato late blight

    Creator:
    Garrett, Karen A.
    Abstract:
    Most studies of plant disease epidemiology have focused on epidemics in host populations composed of a single genotype. But crop plant diversity can be a useful means of improving the deployment of resistance genes. In a series of experiments with wheat stripe rust and potato late blight, we studied factors...

  • Effect of wheat cultivar mixtures on populations of Puccinia striiformis races

    Creator:
    DiLeone, Julie A.
    Abstract:
    This study quantified the frequency of simple versus complex races of Puccinia striiformis Westend. in mixtures of wheat cultivars possessing different race-specific resistance genes. A simple race of a pathogen can infect only one component, and a complex race of the pathogen can infect two or more components of an...

  • Effects of host resistance on Mycosphaerella graminicola populations

    Creator:
    Cowger, Christina
    Abstract:
    Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici) causes Septoria tritici blotch, a globally important disease of winter wheat. Resistance and pathogenicity generally vary quantitatively. The pathogen reproduces both sexually and asexually, and the pathogen population is highly genetically variable. Several unresolved questions about the epidemiology of this pathosystem are addressed by this...
