Trial location(s) Haines, SA
Canola blackleg fungicide trial locations
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
