Regional crown rot management – Wongarbon 2015 locations
Aims
  1. To examine the effect of Crown Rot 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 Crown Rot.
Key messages
  • Yield loss from crown rot ranged from 5.3% (not significant) in the bread wheat variety SuntopA up to 31.0% in the durum variety Jandaroi.
  • Bread wheat variety choice had a large effect on yield where there were high levels of crown rot infection with Beckom, LRPB Lancer and Suntop being between 0.30 t/ha and 0.41 t/ha higher yielding than EGA Gregory.
  • The barley varieties Commander and La Trobe were 0.93 t/ha and 1.65 t/ha higher yielding than EGA Gregory under high levels of crown rot infection, respectively.
  • Rancona Dimension did not provide a yield benefit in the presence of high levels of crown rot infection at this site in 2015.
