Abstract
In field trials done from 1983 to 1985, two cultivars of wheat and two cultivars of barley were rated periodically for common root rot, and leaf temperatures were recorded with a hand-held infrared thermometer. Significant differences for common root rot occurred between cultivars of both wheat and barley but leaf temperatures did not differ among cultivars. Disease rating and leaf temperature were not correlated in wheat and only 2 of 47 comparisons were positively correlated in barley.
