Foliar, seed and in-furrow fungicides for management of wheat leaf diseases locations
Aims

Assess potential efficacy and benefits from fungicides applied from seeding through to flowering in management of stubble borne diseases of wheat.

Key messages
  • Fungicide seed treatment or in-furrow did not affect germination or emergence.
  • Root disease levels were too low for fungicide responses to be evident.
  • Foliar assessments at Z25 & Z30 indicate low levels of necrotrophic disease, both yellow spot (YS) and Stagonospora nodorum (SNB) present with SNB dominant, with no significant impact of at-seeding fungicides on disease expression.
  • Foliar fungicide applications at Z31 and Z39 significantly reduced foliar disease severity (YS and SNB) at flag leaf and head emergence.
  • Warm dry spring conditions limited fungicide response to late fungicide (Z55) application.
  • Yield and quality results were not available.
