Wheat root rots in tropical environments: potential impact and control
1988
Singleton, L.L. (Oklahoma State Univ., Stillwater (USA). Dept. of Plant Pathology)
All of the problems that pathologists and breeders will be confronted with in developing root rot-resistant cultivars for tropical environments are not well defined at this point. Such a task will be a very challenging endeavor. This presentation emphasizes: 1) importance of a healthy wheat root system; 2) host and pathogen environmental interactions; 3) difficulties of root rot problem recognition; 4) potential soilborne pathogen problems; and 5) soilborne disease control approaches. Pathologists and breeders will be responsible for recognition of a pathogen's importance, and the development and implementation of short-term cultural and chemical controls with the long-term objective of developing resistant cultivars
