Yellow leaf spot fungicide trial locations
Aims

To compare two commonly planted wheat varietie, Scout and Corack, tested under three different fungicide regimes for suceptibility to yellow leaf spot

Key messages
  • Significant variation in yellow leaf spot susceptibility exists between varieties of wheat commonly grown on the Lower Eyre Peninsula and this is correlated with significant yield differences.
  • If sowing into stubble with a history of yellow leaf spot, it is important to make good management decisions to avoid yield losses.
  • Choice of variety has more impact on yield than does fungicide management strategy, and is likely to lead to greater profit.
