Comparative aggressiveness of Microdochium nivale and M. majus and evaluation of screening methods for Fusarium seedling blight resistance in wheat cultivars (2014)
Journal Article
Ren, R., Yang, X., & Ray, R. V. (2015). Comparative aggressiveness of Microdochium nivale and M. majus and evaluation of screening methods for Fusarium seedling blight resistance in wheat cultivars. European Journal of Plant Pathology, 141(2), 281-294. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10658-014-0541-3

Microdochium majus and M. nivale are the primary agents of Fusarium seedling blight (FSB) of wheat in wet and cool crop growing regions. The differential responses and plant traits (root and stem length) of eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated using...

Foliar application of isopyrazam and epoxiconazole improves photosystem II efficiency, biomass and yield in winter wheat (2014)
Journal Article
Ajigboye, O. O., Murchie, E., & Ray, R. V. (2014). Foliar application of isopyrazam and epoxiconazole improves photosystem II efficiency, biomass and yield in winter wheat. Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 114(1), 52-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pestbp.2014.07.003

A range of fungicides including epoxiconazole, azoxystrobin and isopyrazam, were applied to winter wheat at GS 31/32 to determine their effect on photosystem II (PSII) efficiency, biomass and yield. Frequent, repeated measurements of chlorophyll fluo... Read More about Foliar application of isopyrazam and epoxiconazole improves photosystem II efficiency, biomass and yield in winter wheat.
