To assess whether applying fluid fungicides in bands at sowing has potential for managing crown rot.
Key messages
Evidence from this trial indicates that further investigation of fluid fungicides banded at sowing for crown rot management is warranted.
Many treatments decreased crown rot incidence early in the season and in these treatments, the plants had increased vegetative bulk later in the season.
Fungicide application reduced levels of crown rot DNA in the crop at maturity.
Expression of crown rot symptoms in durum wheat and bread wheat were different, depending on the treatment applied
