Abstract

In this study, reactions of 12 wheat cultivars to stripe rust and septoria leaf blotch disease, and the disease increase in these cultivars were investigated. Wheat cultivars Seri 82 and Kakliç were susceptible to stripe rust. The resistant cultivars were Orso, Pandas, Ege 88 and Diyarbakir 81. While Ege 88 and Seri 82 were susceptible to septoria leaf blotch, Orso and Diyarbakir 81 were resistant. The infection rate of stripe rust was highest in Gönen, Diyarbakir 81 and Dicle 74, and lowest in Gemini and Kaklic. In the same cultivars, infection rate of septoria leaf blotch disease was highest in the cultivars Gönen and Gemini, and lowest in Ege 88, Izmir 85 and Dicle 74. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
