Trialling foliar control of blackleg in canola with Prosaro locations
Aims

To assess different management strategies for blackleg, while assessing Prosaro as the only foliar in crop option in canola for blackleg management.
 

Key messages
  • Occurrence of blackleg infection was generally low at Westmere in 2013.
  • The ‘Rolls Royce’ treatment of Jockey seed treatment, Impact on fertiliser and two applications of Prosaro yielded significantly higher than the control (600 kg/ha difference).
  • All treatments that received foliar applied Prosaro had significantly less infection at green bud compared to only seed or fertiliser fungicide or nothing.
  • Prosaro’s ability to control blackleg is clear however yield results in a year with low blackleg burden make it difficult to distinguish between in furrow and foliar fungicide control.
