Net blotch [Pyrenophora teres (Died.) Drechsl.] and scald [Rhynchosporium secalis (Oudem.) J.J. Davis] are the two most important foliar diseases of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in Tunisia. The use of cultivars with double resistance is the most effective method in controlling both diseases. A doubled-haploid barley population derived from Tunisian cultivars was evaluated to both net blotch and scald during two growing seasons in the field. Mass disease index (MDI), area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) and apparent infection type (r) were used to assess disease reaction. MDI of net blotch and scald reached up to 65% and 90% respectively. Least significant difference (LSD) test and comparison of the reaction of the doubled haploid (DH) lines to the overall population mean value were efficient in identifying lines with double resistance to both diseases. From the 59 DH lines screened, lines 21, 33, 37, 46 and 47 showed the best level of adult plant resistance to both diseases and may be used in a breeding program for diseases resistance. Interactions between R. secalis and P. teres were investigated at the level of the whole plant under variable epidemic conditions. Under low epidemic conditions, net blotch and scald developments were usually independent, but positively associated for tolerant lines for both diseases. Under high epidemic conditions, competition effects were obtained for susceptible and resistant genotypes. This competition seems to be an exploitation competition that is associated with decreasing resource availability as it occurs only with high levels of infestation or/and when susceptible lines are infected. This study demonstrates the variability of net blotch and scald interaction with epiphytotic conditions and group of resistance.
