Long term disease suppression at Streaky Bay locations
Aims

To determine if disease suppression against Rhizoctonia is achievable in an upper EP environment on a grey
highly calcareous soil using different rotations and cropping inputs.

Key messages
  • Disease suppression has not developed in this soil type after 8 years.
  • Higher nutrition treatments allowed crops to cope better with high disease levels in both 2010 and 2011.
  • Canola will reduce Rhizoctonia inoculum but only one year of wheat will result in high levels of Rhizoctonia inoculum again.
  • In good seasons the high input treatments have shown that district practice performance is limited by poor nutrition.
