Abstract

The aim of this study was determination of susceptibility of 12 winter triticale cultivars and 6 winter wheat cultivars originating from DANKO Plant Breeders Ltd. to Fusarium seedling blight. Germinating kernels were inoculated with Fusarium culmorum, medium pathogenic isolate IPO348-01, originating from Plant Protection Institute, Wageningen, Netherlands (Wojciechowski et al. 1997). Severity of root and leaf infection was evaluated with the 5-degree scale application described by Chełkowski and Mańka (1983). In order to determine reduction of root and leaf growth, the weight of inoculated and control plants was measured. Both triticale and wheat roots were more susceptible to pathogen infection than leaves in one week test. The root weight reduction was 1.6 times higher in relation to leaf weight reduction. Mean relative weight of wheat and triticale leaves were similar (respectively 64.99% and 63.85% of controls). However some triticale cultivars proved to be less susceptible as compared to mean for wheat e.g. Grenado (relative weight 86.72% of control) and Disco (relative weight 83.92% of control). Mean relative weight of triticale roots (38.58% of control ) was lower when compared to wheat (51.77% of control), therefore infection affected triticale roots stronger than wheat roots. Mean root blight score in 5-degree scale was also lower for wheat (2.89) in comparison with triticale root blight score (3.61).
