Cover Story: Enhancing host defences in combination with current disease management regimes may be a valuable strategy to reduce pesticide use. Since ‘on-farm’ seed priming (OSP) and chitosan priming (CHP) have been reported to confer varying levels of host defence, this study sought to investigate their potential to control foliar pathogens in winter barley. No evidence was found to suggest that CHP or OSP can induce effective resistance in temperate field conditions. However, these field trials enabled the identification of candidate traits to deliver disease tolerance for the primary and secondary spread of powdery mildew, i.e., large canopies and rapid stem elongation.
