To investigate the effect of the seed treatment Hombre® on reducing barley yellow dwarf virus in different wheat varieties
• Yield responses were achieved when Hombre seed treatment was used at Frances and Conmurra sites in 2012
• Crop rotation effects had a much greater impact on grain protein than whether a seed treatment was used or not
• Reducing aphid activity reduces the risk of developing BYDV
• Most occurrences of BYDV occur from aphid activity early in the season, so early protection is best
