Trial location(s) Balldale, NSW
Wheat fungicide experiment locations
Aims

To assess different fungicide timing and dressings for Stripe Rust control on the yield of a number of wheat varieties

Key messages
  • Fertiliser dressings gave responses in wheat during 2008.
  • There were no responses to in-crop fungicides.
  • During the four year of the experiment, the best fungicide treametns have benn the seed and fertiliser treatments and the in-crop fungicide sprays at growth stage Z 39 (flag leaf emergence).
