Barley fungicide systems trial locations
Aims
  • To test responses of barley to a range of fungicide disease control regimes using two different timings of the foliar fungicide Bumper and the in-furrow fertilizer treatment impact.
  • To determine which fungicide strategies are optimum for use on barley
  • To compare the responsiveness of various barley varieties to different fungicide regimes
Key messages

The unusually dry and hot seasonal conditions in October impacted on both the development of barley disease and the final barley yields. Both Impact In furrow ® and Bumper ® appeared to provide varying degrees of visual control of the barley disease scald. The yield of the barley variety Gairdner appeared to react to disease pressure more than Baudin, with the most likely reason being the longer growing season of Gairdner and the date of sowing of the two varieties. Nufarm's Fungicide systems program will continue to analyze the affect of different fungicides on wheat and barley varieties to determine the most strategic fungicide regime.
