Assessing blackleg disease control options in canola locations
Aims

To compare different blackleg control measures in canola.

Key messages
  • Average Canola yield in the trial was 2.47 t/ha
  • Disease pressure at the site was high initially during winter, but after a dry spring Stem Canker didn’t develop into a serious problem.
  • The highest yielding treatment was Jockey® seed treatment + Intake in furrow®.
  • The addition of Intake in furrow® to Jockey® seed treatment was significantly higher yielding than Jockey used alone.
  • Intake in furrow® or Jockey® seed treatment used separately showed no significant difference in yield.
  • The earlier foliar fungicide timing significantly reduced blackleg lesions on the leaf compared to delaying the application by a further 21 days.
