Occurrence of <i>Drechslera avenae</i> on durum wheat (<i>Triticum durum</i>) seed in Argentina

Drechslera avenae was isolated from durum wheat seeds from Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, following ISTA protocols. Two assays using artificial inoculation of seed were performed to determine the pathogenicity of this fungus to durum seeds. The infection rates obtained (21–26%) demonstrate the im...

Sumario:Drechslera avenae was isolated from durum wheat seeds from Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, following ISTA protocols. Two assays using artificial inoculation of seed were performed to determine the pathogenicity of this fungus to durum seeds. The infection rates obtained (21–26%) demonstrate the importance of this fungus as a potential seedborne pathogen of durum wheat. This is the first record of D. avenae parasitising durum wheat seed in Argentina.
