Trial details

Researcher(s) Amanda Pearce (SARDI)
Year(s) 2013
Contributor MacKillop Farm Management Group
Trial location(s) Conmurra, SA
Barley x fungicide trial - Conmurra locations
Aims

To compare barley yield and quality with no fungicide application (Treatment 1) to barley yield and quality with fungicide application (Treatment 2) (Table 1). Treatment 2, fungicide application, mimics standard practice in the South East. 
 

Key messages
  • In the presence of disease, fungicide application increased grain yield (kg/ha).
  • Grain quality improved with fungicide application.  
  • In conjunction with a fungicide management strategy, growers should aim to select resistant barley varieties, using up-to-date disease guides for varietal choice.
