ABSTRACT

Barley scald caused by Rhynchosporium commune is known as one of the most deleterious diseases on barley all over the world, especially in the Middle East including Iran. Barley genotypes screening against this disease is an efficient way to find the more tolerant pedigrees. For this purpose, a field experiment was designed at Ghamlou station in the Kurdistan province of Iran during 2013 and 2014, and reaction of twenty four lines and commercial cultivars were evaluated under natural inoculums of R. commune. Based on our results, the genotypes had different reactions compared with each other during both years of experiment. Disease severity rate in 2013 was higher than in 2014, while reactions of some genotypes showed a positive correlation. All genotypes in 2014 had higher yield than in 2013. It appears that different reaction of the genotypes during these both years was in association with meteorological fluctuations such as rainfall rate. Finding resistant or tolerant genotypes to scald disease and compatible to specific areas along with their extensive cultivation lead to obtain the most adapted and yielding cultivars.

Key words: Hordeum vulgaris, Scald, Disease incidence, Screening.
