Field peas - disease management, HRZ Rokewood locations
Aims

To investigate the impact of fungicide use to control disease in a range of field pea breeding lines and varieties (focusing on blue peas).

Key messages

Despite the lack of significant disease, grain yields were reduced by 20% (0.54t/ha) in a ‘nil’ treatment compared with a fortnightly fungicide application regime.
