Abstract

• Yield loss from crown rot infection varied among barley and wheat varieties in all three years tested, ranging from 0 to 1.85 t/ha (0-59% yield loss) for barley and 0 to 1.11 t/ha (0-42% yield loss) for wheat
• An understanding of the crown rot disease history of a paddock and choosing varieties with the appropriate disease resistance ranking can improve crop yield substantially in the presence of crown rot.
