Spot blotch caused by Cochliobolus sativus is a serious constraint to wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) yields in South Asia. A study was conducted at Rampur, Nepal, during 2002 and 2003 using five wheat genotypes (Sonalika, BL1473, Kanchan, Nepal 297 and NL 750) differing in spot blotch resistance to ass...
