This study aimed to compare the efficacy of three different foliar fungicides in managing sclerotinia stem rot in canola.
• Fungicides with different active ingredients had similar efficacy.
• Timing application was the most important factor in reducing sclerotinia stem rot development.
• Disease levels were reduced across all treatments, in particular at 30% bloom and the multiple applications at both 30% and 50% bloom stages.
• Yield increases were observed across all treatments, regardless of the fungicide’s active ingredients.

Three currently registered fungicides were evaluated for their efficacy (Table 1). Each fungicide was applied at bloom stages 10%, 30% and 50%, and a treatment at both 30% and 50%. A nil treatment was included in the experiment as a control.
