SUMMARY Brown rust of barley (Puccinia hordei) is widespread in New Zealand and causes crop losses in some years. The cultivars presently grown lack adequate genetic resistance but a highly resistant line has been produced. Twelve different virulence combinations were identified in the pathogen population using the Welsh differential lines; there were differences between North Island and South Island isolates; and no virulence was observed for resistance conferred by factors Pa 3 and Pa 7.
