Fungicide strategies in barley locations
Aims

To assess the impact of the new strobilurin fungicides on disease management in barley and determine whether the likelihood of fungicide response can be linked to specific timings, disease and plant available water.

Key messages
  • At both Murtoa and Birchip Gairdner barley developed spot form of net blotch; however it was most evident at Murtoa where fungicide applications gave yield responses varying from minus 0.4% to 8.5% (0-0.38t/ha).
  • At this site three treatments gave significant yield increases over the untreated controls.
