About the Cover

Foliar blight (FB) caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana and Pyrenophora tritici repentis either individual or in combination of both pathogens is regarded as an important wheat disease in Nepal due to its high disease frequency in plain and mid hill of the country. Yield loss assessment field experiments were conducted on six genotypes viz. Tilottama, Aditya, Bhrikuti, Gautam, Vijaya and RR21 at National Plant Pathology Research Centre (NPPRC), Khumaltar represent for mid hill and National Maize Research Council (NMRP), Chitwan represent for plain area in a split plot randomized complete block design (RCBD) in three replications. Fungicide Propiconazole (Tilt 250 EC) was applied as a foliar spray to the wheat genotypes as the sub plot treatment to estimate yield loss due to the disease infection. A double digit scale was used to measure foliar infection, and severity was calculated area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC).
