rust resistance. <strong>Yellow</strong> rust was comparatively less prevalent dur<strong>in</strong>g 2001/02,<br />

as mentioned earlier, but was enough for reliable scor<strong>in</strong>g, and all <strong>the</strong> entries<br />

tested dur<strong>in</strong>g that year demonstrated resistance, while only 26% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> entries<br />

were found to exhibit resistance dur<strong>in</strong>g 2002/03.<br />

Slow-rust<strong>in</strong>g behaviour <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> desirable genotypes and fur<strong>the</strong>r test<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong><br />

this material should lead to development <strong>of</strong> resistant cultivars that could be<br />

deployed to avoid boom-and-bust cycles.<br />

rust resistance <strong>in</strong> Pakistan<br />

Season No <strong>of</strong> test entries % resistant<br />

2001/02 67 100<br />

2002/03 69 26<br />

NOTES: Up to 3 ACI was considered as resistant. ACI <strong>of</strong> susceptible check (Local White) dur<strong>in</strong>g 2001/02<br />

was 15 while dur<strong>in</strong>g 2002/03 it was 70 for cv. Morocco. Test locations <strong>in</strong> 2001/02 were Peshawar,<br />

Nowshara, Islamabad, Bahawalpur and Faisalabad. Test locations <strong>in</strong> 2002/03 were Peshawar, Nowshara<br />

and Islamabad.<br />
