In descriptions of varieties or hybrids, it’s common to find information about plant resistance to various pathogens and pests. These are indicated using so-called disease resistance codes , standardized abbreviations developed by the International Seed Federation. Below is a complete list of disease resistance codes by crop, including pathogens and pests referenced in plant characteristic descriptions.
