Three hundred entries were evaluated for resistance to F.verticilioides at Pontevedra, Spain using an augmented design in 2010 and 2011.. This expermental design is suitable for screening large numbers of new and untried treatments.Two hundred and forty unreplicated inbreds were randomly assigned to ten blocks, while six inbred checks (A509, CO125, EP42, EP77, EP80, and PB130) were replicated, being assigned at random to plots within each of the ten
blocks;therefore, each block comprised 24 un-replicated inbreds to be screened plus the six inbred checks. The checks were chosen on the basis oftheir differential performance under inoculation with F.verticillioides shown in preliminary evaluations: resistant A509 and
EP42; intermediate EP77; susceptible CO125 and PB1300 (unpublished data).
