Effect of Hombre seed treatment on reducing BYDV in wheat locations
Aims

To investigate the effect of the seed treatment Hombre on reducing barley yellow drawf virus in different wheat varieties.

Key messages
  • Yield responses were achieved when Hombre seed treatment was used at Frances and Conmurra sites in 2012.
  • Crop rotation effects had a much greater impact on grain protein than whether a seed treatment was used or not.
  • Reducing aphid activity reduces the risk of developing BYDV.
  • Most occurrences of BYDV occur from aphid activity early in the season, so early protection is best
