Susceptibility of triticale cultivars to grain fusariosis.

The infestation of triticale grains by Fusaria and responses of four cultivars on artifical infection of three Fusarium species were studied. Mycelium penetration through kernel tissues and its presence in embryo and endosperm were found. In inoculated spikes reduction of grains number and weight in relation to the control was noted. The most resistant triticale cultivar appeared to be Grado and the most susceptible - Salvo.
