Summary
This AHDB guidance document synthesises current knowledge on managing Wheat dwarf virus in United Kingdom cereal systems, integrating evidence on vector biology, host resistance, and crop management practices. As a knowledge translation resource rather than primary research, it distils peer-reviewed findings and industry experience into actionable recommendations for growers. The document likely addresses disease epidemiology, leafhopper vector management, resistant variety selection, and cultural practices to reduce WDV incidence and impact in UK cereal production.
Regional applicability
This guidance is directly applicable to United Kingdom cereal production, as it is authored by AHDB and specifically tailored to UK growing conditions, available varieties, and regulatory environment. The recommendations reflect evidence relevant to British temperate cereal systems and UK-registered resistant cultivars.
Key measures
Vector biology (leafhopper species and dynamics), host resistance ratings, cultural control efficacy, disease incidence and yield impact under different management regimes
Outcomes reported
The document synthesises evidence-based and practical management approaches for Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) in UK cereal systems. It likely addresses disease epidemiology, vector control, resistant variety selection, and cultural practices to reduce WDV incidence.
