Aims
To assess the efficacy of foliar, on-seed and on-fertiliser commercially available fungicides on blackleg control in retained stubble systems.
Key messages
Amistar Xtra, Intake Hiload Gold and Prosaro provided effective blackleg control.
No significant yield increase from these fungicides
Need to consider economics- high cost fungicides arent justified if blackleg risk is low
Last year’s work indicates variety selection also a good tool for blackleg control
Blackleg is a problem in retained stubbles, fungicides and variety choice are 2 of many tools for blackleg control
