Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of component number on Rhynchosporium secalis infection and yield in mixtures of winter barley cultivars
TL;DR: There was a significant trend towards greater benefit from increased number of components in mixtures of winter barley cultivars and there was a corresponding increase in control of Rhynchosporium secalis as component number increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the response of different barley cultivars and mixtures to soil tillage practice and nitrogen fertiliser levels was investigated in a field experiment and five tillage treatments were established that imposed different amounts of soil disturbance: (T1) zero tillage, (T2) minimum tillage to 7 cm depth and ploughed treatments followed by power harrowing consisting of (T3) conventional plough to 20 cm depth.
Variability in pathotype, aggressiveness, RAPD profile, and rDNA ITS1 sequences of UK isolates of Rhynchosporium secalis
TL;DR: A local population of Rhynchosporium secalis was sampled and the race structure, pathogenicity, RAPD profile and rDNA ITS sequence examined, giving some indications of the taxonomic placement of R. secalis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Inoculum Pressure, Germplasm Selection and Environment on Spring Barley Cultivar Mixtures Efficacy
TL;DR: The advantages of mixtures for improving yield, reducing fungicide applications and improving agronomic characteristics was demonstrated and there seems to be great potential for their further improvement and exploitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of cultivar mixtures on malting quality in winter barley
TL;DR: In this paper, a range of winter barley cultivars were grown either as pure stands or as components of mixtures, in a trial in 1995-96, with no adverse effects on homogeneity.
