Exploring the resilience of wheat crops grown in short rotations through minimising the build-up of an important soil-borne fungal pathogen
Abstract Given the increasing demand for wheat which is forecast, cropping of wheat in short rotations will likely remain a common practice. However, in temperate wheat growing regions the soil-borne fungal pathogen Gaeumannomyces tritici becomes a major constraint on productivity. In cultivar rotat...
