Abstract
Common root rot(CRR), incited by Cochliobolus sativus, is a debilitating soil-borne disease of barley.While yield losses due to CRR are variable, they are significant due to the annual widespread occurrence of the disease in barley fields of North America.Control measures have been ineffective in reducing losses.Therefore, a study was initiated to determine if potassium fertilizers and systemic fungicides reduce CRR severity and positively influence grain yield and yield components of CRR diseased barley.Barley plots were inoculated with Cochliobolus sativus infested oat kernels.Six systemic, ergosterol inhibiting fungicides were applied to separate 'Washonupana' seed lots.KCl or K2SO4 was added with seed and inoculum to furrows at planting.Disease ratings were determined for each plot at maturity.At the soft dough stage, the following yield data were obtained: grain yield per row, total tiller number per row, harvestable tiller number per row, 1000 kernel weight, and kernel number per spike.The number of emerged plants per 3.3 m row was determined at the three leaf stage.Plant emergence was reduced by addition of inoculum to rows.While the potassium fertilizers did not affect plant emergence, nuarimol and imazalil seed treatment significantly(P<.05)increased emergence in inoculated rows.Addition of inoculum to rows did not increase disease levels in mature plants.However, nuarimol seed treatment did significantly(P<.05)reduce disease ratings in inoculated rows as did addition of KCI.Yield components were not affected by addition of inoculum to rows.While the seed treatments and the potassium fertilizers differentially affected, among themselves, yield components, neither resulted in significant P<.05) differences from the yield components of a population of nontreated inoculated barley plants.Pathological effects of CRR can be negated by treatment with certain systemic fungicides or KCl fertilizer.However, disease reduction did not result in increased grain yield and yield components of a plant population of differentially diseased plants.The disease intensity of a barley plot may apparently be reduced by use of certain control agents but compensatory effects by the plant may reduce or eliminate any potential benefits.
