Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Severe ear blight developed only with ear spraying at anthesis plus rainfall or mist.
- Association Rainfall near anthesis increased blight from surface inoculum.
- Association A warm, dry period increased grain infection by F. culmorum.
- Observation The warm, dry period did not increase ear blight.
- Association Seedling infection by F. culmorum made no significant contribution to ear blight.
- Association Seedling infection by Microdochium nivale made no significant contribution to ear blight.
- Intervention effect Ear inoculation with M. nivale caused no blight symptoms.
- Intervention effect Ear inoculation with F. langsethiae caused no blight symptoms.
