Oat Varieties Show Mixed Disease Resistance
The US Department of Agriculture and 65 experiment stations report five years of oat rust tests. Some varieties resist stem rust but not crown rust, and smut resistance often does not align with rust resistance. Top performers include Igold Hajira Richland Minota White Tartar Green Mountain Anthony and Edkin, with Hajira uniquely resistant to both rusts and smuts. Aiming to combine rust and smut resistance, researchers call for further study and publish Technical Bulletin 148-T detailing methods and findings.
