%X The relationship between stripe rust severity and grain yield loss in wheat was studied in two field experiments. Wheat cultivars varying in response to the disease were used to produce epidemics of differing severity. Regression models were used to examine the relationship between disease severity and yield loss. The best estimator of yield loss was an estimate of disease severity at the end of anthesis-early berry growth stage. The relationship between per cent yield loss (YL) and per cent disease severity (DS) at that growth stage was established to be YL = 0.479DS + 0.84.
