Trial location(s) Miling, WA
Disease control for barley varieties demonstration locations
Aims

To investigate the effectiveness of fungicides regimes for controlling net blotch and powdery mildew of barley.

Key messages
  • Baudin produced a statistically higher yield than Gairdner under all treatment regimes.
  • The dry growing season lead to a very low disease presence in the plots.
  • Under non-experimental cropping situations, foliar fungicide sprays would not have been applied in the absence of disease; however, in this trial the cost of foliar applications were not returned through improved yield.
