ABSTRACT
Eighteen spring wheat cultivars, recommended for commercial production in northern Poland, were assessed for Fusarium
head blight (FHB) in natural non-epidemic conditions, from 2011 to 2013. Assessment was based on FHB incidence (proportion of
heads with symptoms), disease severity (DS; proportion of bleached spikelets per head), proportion of
Fusarium
damaged kernels
(FDK), and spectrum of
Fusarium
spp. colonising the kernels. Fusarium head blight incidence and DS often differed significantly
among cultivars and years. There was a strong positive correlation between FHB incidence and DS. Fusarium head blight incidence
and DS were not correlated with the June–July temperatures, and were only occasionally correlated with the total June–July rainfall.
There was a weak positive correlation between FHB incidence and proportion of FDK. There was a strong positive correlation be-
tween DS and proportion of FDK. The cultivar affected colonisation of kernels by
Fusarium
spp.
Fusarium poae
was the FHB pathogen
isolated most often.
Fusarium poae
colonised 6.0% of the kernels, on average, but up to 12.0% on individual cultivars. Other
Fusarium
species were less frequent:
F. avenaceum
in 5.6% of kernels,
F. culmorum
in 5.3%,
F. tricinctum
in 2.8%,
F. graminearum
in 1.5%, and
F. sporotrichioides
in 1.2%.
Fusarium equiseti
occurred sporadically. The importance of
F. poae
in the FHB complex is emphasised. All cultivars
expressed ‘moderate FHB resistance’ if evaluated according to FHB incidence. Cultivars Arabella, Izera, Kandela, Monsun, Ostka
Smolicka, and Struna expressed ‘moderate susceptibility’, and Bombona, Hewilla, Katoda, KWS Torridon, Łagwa, Nawra, Parabola,
Radocha, SMH 87, Trappe, Tybalt, and Waluta expressed ‘susceptibility’ if evaluated by the proportion of FDK. Cultivars differed
within the ‘moderately resistant’, ‘moderately susceptible’, and ‘susceptible’ categories. Cultivars Arabella, Izera, Kandela, Monsun,
Ostka Smolicka, and Struna were the most promising and their resistance traits may be useful in FHB management.
