Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The Uniform Regional Scab Nursery was grown for the first time in 1995. It was composed of 34 entries from AgriPro, South Dakota State University, North Dakota State University, Montana State University, USDA-ARS and University of Minnesota, and Agric. Canada in Manitoba. The nursery was grown in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Manitoba. Five of the six locations evaluated had irrigation or misting available for enhanced disease infection. Inoculation was conducted by several methods including spraying the heads, using infected seed, and inoculating by hand. Greenhouse screening was conducted at South Dakota as well as field. Visual head symptoms of scab infection and spread were evaluated at all six locations. Kernel damage evaluations were taken at Morris and St. Paul, MN, and at Langdon, ND. This nursery allows the exchange of parental germplasm resistant to scab in the Midwestern region. Highly resistant germplasm was contributed from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Manitoba.
