Bacterial Leaf Streak in Oats: Cultivar Response and Comparison of Bactericide Control Options
- Research Topic: Insect/Disease/Weeds / Popular
- Back to Project Listing
Principal Investigator Dr. Randy Kucher led the project, which was undertaken by student Jessa Robb. This oat nursery project entailed two parts:
- Evaluation of up to 10 oats cultivars for susceptibility or resistance to bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens.
- Using one cultivar of oat, the pathogen will be applied to the whole trial. Two treatments will be applied and compared: (1) only water [no bactericide] and (2) CuS04 (formulated as Bordeaux mixture).
This project was funded by the Saskatchewan Oat Development Commission (SaskOats).
