To determine the varietal tolerance of new and current barley varieties to foliar diseases (leaf rust, scald and SFNB).
Yield loss of 0.1-0.5t/ha was observed in some SFNB susceptible varieties at Horsham that had two fungicide applications. The Quambatook site suffered significant yield loss but this was due to a combination of SFNB and an additional factor (possibly crown rot). It is unlikely that a single application of foliar fungicide would have provided effective control of SFNB and prevented yield loss if applied after GS39 or to MS or better rated varieties.
