Key to Disease Resistance
The various Rp genes confer resistance to some, but not all, races of common rust. The effectiveness of a specific Rp gene or combination of Rp genes will be determined by the races of common rust which are prevalent in each growing area.
Et = Northern corn leaf blight; Pst = Stewart’s disease

HR = High Resistance: The ability of a plant variety to highly restrict the activities of a specific pathogen or insect pest and/or to restrict the symptoms and signs of a disease, when compared to susceptible varieties.

Varieties with high resistance may exhibit some symptoms when specified pathogen or pest pressure is severe.  New and/or atypical strains of the specific pathogen or pest may overcome the resistance.
IR = Intermediate Resistance: The ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms compared to varieties with high resistance. Intermediate resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen pressure.

Individual results may vary, and performance may vary from location to location and from year to year. This result may not be an indicator of results you may obtain as local growing, soil and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible.
