Stop the root rot: seed treatments for Rhizoctonia control in cereals locations
Aims

This trial was established to investigate current fungicide seed treatment options in cereals and compare these with EverGol Prime for Rhizoctonia control.

Key messages

Under very low Rhizoctonia pressure, none of the seed treatments trialed here had an impact (negative or positive) on barley yield. EverGol® Prime is a new product that is now registered for the suppression of Rhizoctonia in wheat and barley at a rate range of 40 - 80mL/100kg of seed.
