Aims
  • To recommend agronomic and fungicide management strategies to minimise botrytis grey  mould infections and maximum grain yield and quality in the new lentil varieties.
Key messages
  • The late break (11 June) and prevailing seasonal conditions were unfavourable for the spread of botrytis grey mould at both sites in 2005
  • Traces of botrytis grey mould were found at both sites but had no impact on yield. A late season ascochyta blight outbreak did occur at Melton however control sprays may have been applied too late to induce a fungicide response.
  • No significant difference was recorded between any of the different fungicide spray strategies between varieties or at different sowing times.
