Contrasting Performance of Two Winter Wheat Varieties Susceptible to Leaf Rust under Diverse Pathogen Pressure, Fungicide Application, and Cultivation Practices.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the relationship between yield, thousand kernel weight (TKW), and crude protein of soft white winter wheat-club variety (Barbee) and soft white winter wheat common variety (Zvezdana) susceptible to leaf rust and powdery mildew under different cultivation practices. Results revealed divergence in associations between yield, TKW, and crude protein loss of winter wheat varieties susceptible to obligate pathogens. Under the same level of leaf rust infection, N-input limited yield loss of the two varieties but not to the same extent. TKW loss was affected only by variety×cultivation practice and was significantly correlated with yield loss (r = -0.727, p = 0.011) and crude protein loss (r = -0.600, p = 0.05) only in club winter wheat. We suspected that Ninp
