Adult plant resistance and strategic fungicide use for integrated management of cereal rust locations
Aims
  • To define the expression of adult plant resistance (APR) in a range of wheat cultivars in relation to environmental conditions and growth stage.
  • To develop improved strategies for intervention with fungicides in the control of stripe rust and yellow leaf spot in susceptible and resistant wheat, and the communication of the strategies to industry stakeholder.
  • To develop a model to support growers on the relative merits of applying fungicide for diease control, which takes account of climate, expected yield, economic outlook and genetic inputs including APR.
Key messages
  • The maximum response to fungicide was 17% (0.65 t/ha) with Bolac, 40% (1.24 t/ha) and Yipti and Chara 73% (2.11 t/ha).
  • Impact (flutriafol) was particularly effective at delaying the built up of stripe rust in the Chara which has a susceptible rating to the disease.
  • The effect of flutriafol was less evident in more resistant cultivars or where stem rust ws the principal disease (Yipti).
  • Foliar fungicides at GS32-33 (2nd - 3rd node) gave their greatest benefits where Impact had not been applied, however, its use was still positive with Impact treated crops.
  • A flag leaf spray was the most influential component of the fungicide strategies evaluated irrespecitve of cultivar.
  • The flag leaf spray reduced late stem rust pressure and controlled the earlier infection of stripe rust on the flat leaf itself.
