Aims

To investigate the effect of Barley Yellow Dwarf virus on wheat and also to determine teh effect of different fungicide optionson leaf diseases on wheat.  

Key messages
  • Significant yeild increases were measured at Conmurra by controlling aphids to reduce the impact of BYDV
  • A range of fungicide treatments, applied at GS31 9increased grain yeild in wheat at Conmurra by about 2t/ha
  • High levels of black point occured at Millicent and allowed good ratings to be made.
