New fungicides for controlling ascochyta in chickpea locations
Aims

To investigate the efficacy of newly registered fungicides for control of ascochyta in chickpea.

Key messages
  • One or two well timed fungicide applications increased yield 10% and full control a further 15%.
  • Newer fungicides were more effective at supressing ascochyta but this did not translate to increased yield.
  • Further testing of new fungicides is required in more locations and seasons.
