Abstract
Relevance. The use of resistant wheat varieties is an effective, ecologically and economically advantageous method of combating brown rust. Breeding for disease resistance is an alternative to chemicals and promotes stable grain production. The purpose of the study is to assess the resistance of winter wheat varieties to brown rust and identify sources with high resistance to the pathogen.
Methods. The study of brown rust resistance of winter common wheat varieties was carried out at the infectious plot of the laboratory for immunity and plant protection of the FSBSI «ARC “Donskoy”» from 2019 to 2023. The object of the study was the phytopathogenic fungus Puccinia triticina Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici Erirss. et Henn, which causes brown rust. The material of the study was 98 winter common wheat varieties. Favorable weather conditions contributed to the active development of the disease on the leaves, which made it possible to obtain reliable data on the varieties’ resistance.
Results. The study has found that the winter common wheat varieties resistant to brown rust predominated, their percentage varying from 80.6 (2022) to 92.6 (2020). In this group there have been identified new zoned — Zhavoronok, Volny Don, Priazovie and others. Resistant varieties play an important role in greening products and the environment. Having analyzed the dynamics of resistance of the studied varieties over five years (2019–2023), there has been identified that 81.6% (80 varieties) are resistant to the brown rust pathogen (the damage to this set of varieties did not exceed 15%). The winter wheat varieties identified in the study can be specifically used in breeding programs as sources of brown rust resistance.
