Foliar fungicides on barley and wheat locations
Aims

To evaluate the effectiveness of foliar fungicides applied to barley and compare strobilurin fungicides with the "older' triazole and conazole fungicides. 

Key messages
  • The absence of leaf rust was presumably a function of the dry finish to the season and dry autumn and lack of a "green bridge" (alternative hosts). Scald infection levels were low. Based on the pessimistic seasonal forecast, nitrogen was not applied to the crop and it is likely this retarded the development of scald. 
  • Further trials are required to evaluate these fungicides in seasons with higher disease pressure.
