Abstract: Given the increasing demand for wheat which is forecast, cropping of wheat in short rotations will likely remain a common practice. However, in temperate wheat growing regions the soil-borne fungal pathogen Gaeumannomyces tritici becomes a major constraint on productivity. In cultivar rotation field experiments on the Rothamsted Farm (Hertfordshire, UK) we demonstrated a substantial reduction in take-all disease and grain yield increases of up to 2.4 tonnes/ha when a low take-all inoculum building wheat cultiv… Show more

“…With the increasing world population, the demand for crop products, combined with food security and balanced nutrition, is rapidly increasing. The demand for wheat is expected to increase by 60% by 2050 [3]. Crop yields and their associated economic losses are major global concerns in modern agriculture.…”

“…Therefore, it is essential to effectively control soil-borne diseases. However, due to the broad host ranges and difficulties of targeting the pathogen population in the soil, typical soil-borne diseases are hard to control with chemistry and the time-consuming breeding for disease resistance [3].…”

“…Although no source of genetic root resistance is currently available in hexaploid wheats, a genetic trait has been identified in which hexaploid bread wheat cultivars differ in their ability to build up take-all inoculum in the soil in their first year of rotation [46]. This low TAB trait (Figure 3C) influences disease severity and productivity in the second year of growing wheat [47]. An increase in grain yield of 2.4 tonnes/ha was reported in a high take-all disease pressure year.…”

“…An increase in grain yield of 2.4 tonnes/ha was reported in a high take-all disease pressure year. This novel genetic trait has been explored in 71 modern UK elite wheat cultivars in a first wheat situation across multiple field sites and seasons [47]. Variations in the level of take-all inoculum in soil cores were observed across the cultivars and trial sites, which suggests that other environmental, microbial, and/or agronomic factors also influence take-all build-up.…”
