Abstract

Resistance of 40 winter wheat cultivars from the Polish National List to Fusarium head blight was studied. Experiments were conducted in the years 2002–2004 in the experimental fields of PBAI Radzików, Poland. Heads of winter wheat were inoculated with Fusarium culmorum. Head infection, number of Fusarium damaged kernels and reductions of yield components were evaluated. Winter wheat cultivars were on average medium susceptible, however the wide variability of reaction occurred. Several resistant cultivars (e.g. Turnia, Alba, Tonacja, Liwilla) and a number of highly susceptible ones (e.g. Liryka, Maltanka, Clever, Kris, Soraja) were distinguished. In spite of the high level of head infection, some susceptible cultivars (Begra, Kobra, Symfonia) showed medium resistance to kernel damage and medium tolerance to yield reduction. In contrast, some cultivars with low head infection were characterized by a relatively large number of Fusarium damaged kernels (Liwilla, Sukces, Wilga). Flowering time and straw height significantly influenced the head blight severity. Heads of the tall cultivars, as compared with those of the short ones, were usually infected with F. culmorum at the lower level. However, some short and medium cultivars (e.g. Symfonia, Izolda, Sukces, Tonacja, Alba) showed some deviations from the general tendency. This suggests the presence of resistance genes in these cultivars.
