appearance <strong>of</strong> symptoms, two<br />
evaluations were done, the first<br />
on 28 August . <strong>and</strong> the second on<br />
5 September.<br />
The infection was scored as<br />
percent <strong>of</strong> leaf area affected by<br />
the disease, on two tillers per<br />
plant <strong>and</strong> five leaves per tiller.<br />
Transformed data (Loge +0.5) for<br />
the flag leaf, F-1, <strong>and</strong> F-2, as<br />
well as the average <strong>of</strong> the three<br />
leaves, were analyzed using<br />
SAS GLM procedure (Version<br />
6.12; SAS Institute, Cary, NC).<br />
Infection on the lower two<br />
leaves was not included in this<br />
analysis due to many missing<br />
values.<br />
Results <strong>and</strong><br />
Discussion<br />
The analysis <strong>of</strong> variance<br />
(ANOVA) for each leaf <strong>and</strong> the<br />
average <strong>of</strong> the three leaves<br />
showed significant differences<br />
between cultivars <strong>and</strong> seeding<br />
dates, as well as significant<br />
interaction between seeding dates<br />
<strong>and</strong> cultivars in both evaluations. As<br />
the results were similar for<br />
individual leaves <strong>and</strong> the average <strong>of</strong><br />
the three top leaves, only data for<br />
the latter are presented (Table 3).<br />
Differences among cultivars<br />
were found on the first two seeding<br />
dates (28/04 <strong>and</strong> 16/05) during the<br />
first evaluation, <strong>and</strong> on the<br />
intermediate dates (16/05 <strong>and</strong> 31/<br />
05) during the second evaluation.<br />
All the cultivars except B.<br />
Charrúa showed different infection<br />
levels on different seeding dates at<br />
first evaluation. This interaction is<br />
explained by the cultivars’ different<br />

behavior on the different seeding<br />
dates/GS at inoculation. Early<br />
seedling infection demonstrated<br />
higher sensitivity for detecting<br />
differences among cultivars.<br />
During this evaluation, the<br />
facultative wheat varieties were<br />
found to have higher <strong>Septoria</strong><br />
susceptibility at GS 39 (flag leaf<br />
ligule just visible) <strong>and</strong> spring<br />
varieties at GS 65 (flowering<br />
halfway complete). These were<br />
followed by GS 32/33 (stem<br />
elongation-first node detectable)<br />
<strong>and</strong> GS 39 for facultative <strong>and</strong><br />
spring varieties, respectively.<br />
Inoculations at GS 22 to GS 31<br />
did not produce adequate<br />
infection levels.<br />
At the second evaluation on 5<br />
September, the group seeded on the<br />
first date was already dry. For the<br />
remaining three sowing dates, the<br />
highest infection level was shown by<br />
facultative wheat varieties inoculated<br />
at GS 32-33 <strong>and</strong> by spring wheat<br />
varieties inoculated at GS 39.<br />
Comparison <strong>of</strong> the cultivars’ field<br />
reactions to S. tritici with infection<br />
under controlled conditions showed<br />
differences in I. Mirlo, P. Superior, E.<br />
Halcón, <strong>and</strong> P. Oasis. These cultivars<br />
are considered resistant (R),<br />
moderately resistant (MR), moderately<br />
resistant (MR), <strong>and</strong> susceptible (S),<br />
respectively, under field conditions;<br />
