, H. 2003. Impact of powdery mildew on the yield of soft white spring wheat cultivars. Can. J. Plant Sci. 83: 725-728. The effect of powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici) on the grain yield and protein content of one susceptible, Springfield, and three moderately resistant cultivars, Fielder, AC Reed and AC Nanda, of soft white spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) was examined at two field locations near Lethbridge and Vauxhall, Alberta, in 1999 and 2000. At the start of heading, powdery mildew development was suppressed in half of the plots of each cultivar by a single spray application of the fungicide Tilt (propiconazole). Severe powdery mildew infection of the susceptible cultivar Springfield resulted in yield reductions ranging from 11.4 to 19.9%. The grain yield of the moderately resistant cultivar Fielder was significantly reduced at both sites in 1999 by 7.6-10.5% while AC Reed suffered a significant yield loss (7.6-9.1%) at Lethbridge in both years. The moderately resistant cultivar AC Nanda consistently had the lowest powdery mildew ratings and its yield was unaffected by the disease. A single fungicide application prevented disease buildup on the moderately resistant cultivars, but not on Springfield. The grain protein content of the moderately resistant cultivars was unaffected by powdery mildew, but it decreased in Springfield by 0.6-0.7%. , on a pulvérisé le fongicide Tilt (propiconazole) sur la moitié des parcelles pour lutter contre la maladie. Une grave infection du cultivar sensible Springfield par le blanc a entraîné une baisse de 11,4 à 19,9 % du rendement. Le rendement grainier du cultivar moyennement résistant Fielder a sensiblement diminué (de 7,6 à 10,5 %) aux deux endroits, en 1999, alors que celui de AC Reed en a fait autant (baisse de 7,6 à 9,1 %) à Lethbridge, les deux années. AC Nanda présentait toujours la plus faible cote pour le blanc et la maladie n'a pas affecté son rendement. Une seule application de fongicide suffit à prévenir l'aggravation de la maladie pour les cultivars modérément résistants, mais pas pour Springfield. Le teneur en protéines du grain n'est pas touchée par le blanc chez les cultivars moyennement résistants, mais elle diminue de 0,6 à 0,7 % chez Springfield.
