greenhouse inoculated infection (severity=percentage of the head expressing symptoms); and field inoculated infection (scab index = incidence x severity; where incidence=number of heads in the plot expressing symptoms and severity= percentage of the head expressing symptoms). Data on severity and index for a given variety reflect potential losses had disease pressure been higher. Although no complete resistance is known, more resistant varieties have lower values for both of these traits. ¶ Means were not significantly different at P=0.05.
