Incidence of eyespot on winter triticale and quantification of Oculimacula spp. population using Rea

What is it about?

The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of eyespot in winter triticale crops in different agro-ecological zones of Lithuania and to use real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) to determine the dominant Oculimacula fungi populations in winter triticale crops grown in Lithuania, which has not been previously established.

Why is it important?

In summary, the results presented in this study indicate that eyespot incidence in triticale varied substantially and could be economically important in some fields. According to our results, the predominance of O. acuformis over O. yallundae in the Oculimacula population is an important factor in the choice of fungicides used to control eyespot. -
