Summary

The objective of this project is to find a means of selection for good tolerance to this disease in a breeding material of winter barley. The test method involves artificial inoculation with T. ishikariensis and the provision of a simulated snow cover during the incubation period. The results reflect, with few exceptions, a very good consistency between years regarding the reaction of the different varieties. It was found that in the breeding material used the survival rate varies from 0 to 80%. This has provided excellent opportunities for selection.
