Integrating Disease Severity and Growth Retention Reveals Distinct Resistance Responses to Spring Black Stem and Leaf Spot in Alfalfa
2026-07-10
Abstract excerpt
Alfalfa spring black stem and leaf spot (ASBS), caused by Ascochyta medicaginicola, threatens alfalfa yield, quality, and stand persistence. Conventional resistance evaluations of alfalfa cultivars generally rely on disease incidence, disease severity, or the percentage of healthy plants, but these indices do not fully capture post-infection growth maintenance. In this study, 12 alfalfa cultivars were spray-inocul...
