Aims

To assess the yield of a range of agronomic treatments on wheat varieties at several sites

Key messages
  • In high rainfall areas, the inclusion of an insecticide to control aphids, and therefore reducing the incidence of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) should becoming common practice.
  • Yield responses continue to be seen by controlling BYDC (particularly in susceptible varieties).
  • In 2011, the control of BYDV also appeared to improve the response to later applied nitrogen.
