Abstract

Yellow rust occurrence and its harmfulness to Poa pratensis grown for turf and seed were studied at Radzików (central Poland) in 1997–2001.Twenty cultivars originated from Poland and other countries of Europe and thirty five ecotypes collected from different places of Poland were evaluated in two experiments under middle intensive turf maintenance. Five cultivars were tested in seed production. The investigations revealed that yellow rust of Poa pratensis was caused by P. striiformis f. sp. poae because this pathogen did not infect other species of grass. The disease occurs in different periods of vegetation — from May to October. The late disease occurrence did not influence the useful characters of the cultivars. Early infection significantly limited the general performance, compactness and winter-greenness of the turf of cultivars and ecotypes. Yellow rust appeared to be a dangerous pathogen for Poa pratensis grown for seed. It has been established that damages by P. striiformis in autumn substantially limited plant heading and negatively influenced uniformity of flowering in the next year, which significantly decreased the seed yield. Cultivars and ecotypes expressed a wide range of susceptibility to P. striiformis. Low infection level was observed on the cultivars Bartitia, Miracle, Barcelona Barzan and on eight tested ecotypes.
