2013 Syngenta Barley Fungicide & Plant Growth Regulator Trial – Conmurra,SA

To assess the yield of the plant growth regulator (PGR), Moddus Evo and foliar fungicides Amistar Xtra, Cogito and experimental in furrow fungicide SYNSIF1 when used in barley. Previous work has shown that when combining PGRs with good quality fungicides yield and return on investment can be significantly enhanced in cereal crops grown in high rainfall environments. The aim of this trial was to explore these affects in more detail.

Influence of anti-lodging plant growth regulators on root activity in barley-Wagga Wagga 2017

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of two commonly used PGRs on root growth. It was hypothesised that if root growth modification occurred due to PGR application it would be a result of either the PGR altering the allometric balance between roots and shoots; a modification of the allocation of photoassimilates between the root and shoot as a consequence of inhibiting shoot growth; or a translocation of PGR from the point of application to the roots to directly influence root growth.
