Wheat head blast index data for four CIMMYT nurseries is presented. Field trials took place in Okinawa, Bolivia and Jashore, Bangladesh during the 2025 cropping cycles, with two sowings in Jashore and one in Okinawa. The dataset was authored by Pawan Singh and is hosted by the CIMMYT Harvested Dataverse.
Use Cases
- Assess wheat blast disease severity based on the head blast index percentage data
- Compare disease resistance across different wheat nurseries (16HLBSN, 16HZAN, 42SAWSN, 57IBWSN)
- Analyze environmental or management effects on disease based on trial locations (Okinawa, Jashore) and sowing cycles
Strengths
- Data is specific to four distinct CIMMYT wheat nurseries
- Field trials were conducted in two geographically distinct locations (Okinawa, Bolivia and Jashore, Bangladesh)
- Covers the 2025 cropping cycle with multiple sowing times in Jashore
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
