Abstract
The resistance of 59 varieties and three ecotypes of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) to crown rust (Puccinia coronata) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola) was evaluated under field and greenhouse conditions at the Grassland Research Station in Zubri in 2011 – 2012. The infection pressure of crown rust was higher in 2011 and most of the investigated accessions, with exception of the variety Charger II, showed high susceptibility in the field. The occurrence of stem rust was low in both years. Artificial inoculation of young plants with urediospores of P. graminis subsp. graminicola in the greenhouse revealed high resistance in the varieties Kokomo and Score.
