Germplasm EvaluationIn every year, more than 13,000 wheat and 5,000 barley entries were evaluated in the fields and/or greenhousefor rust resistance. The data were used to determine

provided to breeders for developing resistant cultivars.genetics of and mapping genes for resistance and were

Cultivar Response

• Rust alerts and real-time situations were sent to growersfor preparing and implementing fungicide control throughe-mails and news releases.

• Advises and recommendations were provided to growers onwhether to use fungicide on certain cultivars, which one touse, and when to use fungicides.

Implementation of Fungicide Control

Losses of multimillion dollars were prevented.

Temperature Effecton Stripe Rust

Parameters in Models for Stripe Rust Forecasting

1. Negative Degree Days (NDD):Accumulated daily temperatureslower than 7oC from December1 to January 31.

2. Positive Degree Days (PDD):Accumulated daily temperatureshigher than 7oC from April 1 toJune 30.

3. Julian Day of Spring (JDS):The date when positive 40oC orhigher during the following 14days.
