To evaluate the effectiveness of various strategies for managing foliar diseases in separate barley (Experiment 1) and wheat (Experiment 2) experiments using foliar and fertiliser applied fungicides.
It is important to consider the seasonal risk posed by diseases when developing an appropriate disease management strategy. Avoiding susceptible barley and wheat varieties will significantly reduce the risk of grain yield and quality loss due to disease Both foliar and fertiliser fungicides can both provide effective disease management when applied to coincide with the critical development stages of disease epidemics.
