Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) heads were covered with plastic bags for 24h following inoculation with Fusarium graminearum (Schw.) to promote infection in screening wheat for genetic resistance. Black bags were the most effective in differentiating between resistant and susceptibl e cultivars in two dry years but not in a rainy, humid year. As the in cidence of scab increased the incidence of Alternaria decreased.
