Heterodera avenae is a cereal cyst nematode that reduces wheat yields in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Barley is also susceptible but there were no previous reports of resistance or tolerance to H. avenae in the United States. Spring barley cultivars were assayed in H. avenae-infested fields over 2 years. Cultivars were planted in plots treated or not treated with aldicarb. Forty-five cultivars were evaluated for the market classes of two- and six-row feed barley cultivars and two- and six-row malt barley cultivars. One two-row feed barley ('Lenetah') was ranked as resistant and four were tolerant or very tolerant. In total, 1 two-row malt barley ('Odyssey') was very resistant and 10 were tolerant or very tolerant. Two six-row feed and two six row malt barley cultivars were tolerant or very tolerant but none were resistant. Seven feed barley cultivars were ranked as having a balance of at least moderate resistance plus moderate tolerance: 'Champion', Lenetah, 'Xena', 'Idagold II', 'Transit', 'Millennium', and 'Golden eye'. This is the first report of resistance and tolerance of barley in H. avenae-infested fields in the Pacific Northwest. Barley productivity can be improved by planting resistant plus tolerant cultivars or by using highly resistant and highly tolerant cultivars as parents in barley improvement programs.
