Aims

To assess the value of an insecticide programme on the control of barley yellow dwarf virus in wheat. 

Key messages
  • It was cost effective to apply an insecticide for the control of BYDV in wheat.
  • The best treatment was the split application of insecticide at approximately 4 weeks and 10 weeks post sowing.
  • Chara was a superior variety to Kellalac for yield at the Gnarwarre site.
