Susceptibility of Cultivars to Biotic Stresses

a study on the seed susceptibility of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars to impact damage

mechanical damage due to harvesting, handling, and other processes is an important factor that affects the seeds quality. seed damage results in lower grain value and more storability problem and reduces seed germination and seedling vigor and subsequent yield of crops. tests were conducted to determine the percentage of physical damage (ppd) and percentage of loss in germination (plg) of wheat...

Comparative susceptibility of two banana cultivars to Banana bunchy top virus under laboratory and field environments.

Field and laboratory experiments were carried out on the island of Oahu, HI, to compare the susceptibility of the two most commonly grown banana (Musa sp.) cultivars in the state ('Dwarf Brazilian' or Santa Catarina [locally known as dwarf apple] and 'Williams') to the aphid-borne Banana bunchy top virus (genus Babuvirus, family Nanoviridae, BBTV). Several morphological and physiological featur...

Field evaluation of carrot cultivars for susceptibility to fungal leaf blight diseases in New York

Carrot cultivars grown in New York were evaluated for susceptibility to the fungal leaf blight pathogens Alternaria dauci (1999) and Cercospora carotae (2000–03) in an experimental field under continuous carrot cultivation since 1996. Replicated plots were established in a randomized complete block design. Plants were rated for disease incidence and severity at regular intervals. Cultivar susce...
