Accident de croissance des grains de céréales dû à un coup de chaleur.

OBS

L'échaudage des céréales est un accident de croissance des grains qui est dû soit à un coup de chaleur, soit à une attaque parasitaire (piétin-échaudage).

OBS

Cet accident se produit lorsque les températures maximales dépassent 30 °C à un stade phénologique bien déterminé. Il consiste en une perte d'eau importante du grain qui n'est pratiquement pas réversible chez les variétés sensibles; cette déshydratation ne permet plus le remplissage complet du grain qui se présentera à la récolte ridé et avec une faible teneur en amidon.

Record 2 2001-06-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Diseases
  • Grain Growing
DEF

The state of any plant manifesting abnormally early maturity and a poor yield due to a pathogenic cause.

CONT

The general aim of plant breeders was to produce a grain that combined the hardiness, vigour, environmental tolerance and disease resistance of rye with the superior grain yield and quality characteristics of wheat. Originally many problems were encountered such as floret infertility, susceptibility to ergot, grain shrivelling and late maturity. These obstacles to successful production of triticale have been gradually overcome and triticale has become a significant crop in several countries such as Poland, Germany and Australia.
