Wheat: susceptibility of varieties to common root rot locations
Aims

To evaluate the susceptibility of new wheat varieties, which currently have insufficient trial data to provide a disease score, to CRR compared with varieties with known disease ratings.

Key messages
  • Common root rot (CRR) is a fungal disease that has the potential to reduce susceptible wheat, barley and oat yields.
  • Moderately resistant CRR varieties, such as Strzelecki and Sunstate, did not suffer grain yield or grain quality losses due to CRR
  • Drysdale, Combat and Hunter showed moderate resistance to CRR, although as yet they have no disease rating
