Regional crown rot management – Mungindi 2015 locations
Aims
  1. To examine the effect of CR on the yield of two barley, one durum and 13 bread wheat varieties. 
  2. To evaluate the efficacy of Rancona® Dimension as a standalone option to control CR.
Key messages
  • Yield loss from crown rot ranged from 11.0% (not significant) in the barley variety La Trobe up to 70.0% in the bread wheat variety EGA Gregory.
  • Bread wheat variety choice had a large effect on yield where there were high levels of crown rot infection with nine varieties being between 0.46 t/ha to 1.69 t/ha higher yielding than EGA Gregory.
  • The barley variety La Trobe was 2.08 t/ha higher yielding than EGA Gregory under high levels of crown rot infection.
  • Rancona Dimension provided a small (0.29 t/ha) yield benefit compared to no seed treatment in the presence of high levels of crown rot infection at this site in 2015 but was far from providing complete control of the disease with 63% yield loss still occurring.
