Trial location(s) West Wubin, WA
Evaluate newly registered seed treatments for loose smut and Rhizoctonia in Hindmarsh barley locations
Aims

To compare EverGol Prime, Vibrance and Tripower to Baytan T for loose smut contol and to compare EverGol Prime to triazole seed treatments for Rhizoctonia suppression.

Key messages
  • Loose smut in barley is internally seed borne so if you are seeing infected heads then it means your grain souce was contaminated. It is the hardest of the smut diseases to control because it is an internally seed borne infection and most current seed treatments are not as effective on internally seed borne diseases.
  • EverGol Prime has excellent local systemicity, being able to move across the seed wall and into the seed. It is an excellent option for control of loose smut.
  • The applicaiton of Sakura into barley was not successful with the APVMA. Therefore we will not review the results as this component of the trial in regard to the interactions with pre-emergent herbicides.
