Notes:
Abstract Inoculated spikes of Karnal bunt resistant triticale and durums developed secondary sporidia of N. indica in counts comparable to those from Karnal bunt susceptible bread wheat cultivars. Inoculated spikes of barley, a non-host crop, also produced secondary sporidia. Intact/detached leaves of several crops and weed plants inoculated with N. indica sporidia supported the mycelial growth and sporulation of this pathogen. Uninoculated leaves of wheat and five weeds obtained from wheat-fields developed sporidia when incubated in moist saturated atmosphere in the laboratory. N. indica appeared to have two distinct phases in its life cycle. The relative significance of these phases in N. indica-life is discussed.
