Evaluation location: California, United States
Barley Stripe Rust Evaluation. Field evaluation at Davis, California. Planted December 12-13, 2007. Final disease ratings May 6, 2008. BSR was first detected on March 12. The spreader in the nursery, Max, became infected later than many entries in the nursery. By the time of the 2nd evaluation, it ranged from 30-80% severity (many of the lines that were evaluated reached 100% severity). Cool conditions were favorable for continued development of stripe rust through early May, though many barley lines in the nursery were becoming mature and tissue was naturally senescing by that time. Order #190035.
