A model is proposed of mechanisms which might affect the progress of E. graminis f. sp. hordei in mixtures of barley varieties. Results obtained from 2 field trials indicate that the effect of mixtures may be partitioned into 3 categories: the influence of the reduced density of the susceptible plants, the barrier effect of the resistant plants and the induced resistance due to the non-virulent pathogen biotypes. In the early stages of plant growth the lower density of susceptible plants accounted for most of the reduction in pathogen development in mixtures. As the epidemic progressed, the barrier and induced resistance effects increased in importance and the total mixture effect was at a maximum mid-way through epidemic development. Towards the end of the trials the overall mixture effect declined though the influence of induced resistance was at its maximum. The reasons for these changes and their implications for the use of host varietal mixtures in disease control are discussed. Mixtures also protected the crop against a pathogen other than the target organism.
