Example text
The disease appears as small leaf spots (1± 3 mm long) that are often square or rectangular in shape, and pale brown in the centre with dark purple/brown, well-defined margins. Pycnidia occur in lines along the veins, within the central area of a lesion. Spots generally occur towards the tips and along the edges of leaves. The pycnidia also affect the leaf sheath and ear (especially the awns). Halo spot often occurs with Rhynchosporium (see below) but can be distinguished from the latter by the smaller size of its spots and the presence of pycnidia within the lesions.
Crops are at greatest risk if sown early, especially in sheltered locations. The larvae hatch from the eggs after about a week and enter the shoot at the top. Larval feeding causes the shoot to swell and take on a `gouted' appearance. As well as the affected shoot, the other tillers on the plant also die. However, because neighbouring plants produce extra tillers, crops can compensate for damage of up to 25% of gouted plants. Adults of the spring generation are on the wing in May and early June, and they also lay their eggs on the leaves of cereal plants.
Improvements in disease control and cereal cultivars have prolonged the grain-filling period, allowing aphid infestations to develop later than previously and so causing greater yield loss. Grain aphids infest both the ear and the upper leaves, whereas rose/grain aphids remain on the underside of the leaves. Threshold levels for aphicide application have been set at (a) half or more of the tillers infested by aphids up to the flowering stage, and (b) two-thirds of tillers infested between flowering and the end of the grain-filling period.
