To assess the effect of PGRs and fungicides on variety-specific barley yields.
PGR applied to barley in this trial suppressed plant height, generated a yield benefit and improved crop gross margin.
No single variety responded differently to the addition of PGR or fungicide in this trial.
Fungicide extended the green leaf duration of the crop.
