Abstract

Lodging in crop plants is an undesirable trait due to the associated decrease in yield and quality. In this study, the effects of cultivar type and powdery mildew disease on barley lodging was examined in a 2-year field experiment. Five barley cultivars and two types of powdery mildew treatments were tested. Data from both years were averaged and analyzed. The results indicate that more lodging occurs in diseased plants compared to protected plants and lodging in different cultivars was associated with barley powdery mildew. Different cultivars displayed different levels of lodging; the shorter plants displayed lesser lodging. Both factors showed considerable effects on other traits, such as grain yield and plant height.
