Abstract

Wheat stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f.s. tritici) is the greatest vicious rust disease in wheat-growing areas of Ethiopia. The cultivating of cultivars with polygenic gene resistance is the most efficient way of monitoring the disease. Field experiments were carried out at Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center main station and, Meraro and Bekoji substations of Ethiopia during 2019 to 2020 main cropping seasons to disclose variability for field based adult plant resistance to yellow rust among 25 newly developed bread wheat cultivars advanced in Ethiopia. Features used as criteria to identify adult plant resistance comprised response of wheat cultivars to yellow rust, Coefficient of infection (CI), relative final rust severity (FRS) and area under disease progress curve (rAUDPC) were found to be reliable to evaluate slow rusting in the cultivars. The outcomes shown that wheat cultivar only Balcha had low disease severity (< 30%) with MRMS reaction, lower rAUDPC values (>30%) and CI (< 20) and were recognized to have good level of adult plant resistance while eighty eight percent of the tested cultivars exhibited susceptible and grouped under low slow rusting resistance with high disease pressure over all three locations. Cultivars Dashen, Daka, Wane and Sanate had moderate values for slow rusting parameters and were recognized as having moderate level of slow rusting. The slow rusting cultivars identified from the present work can be used for extra management in wheat development programs.
