Crown rot variety trials – southern NSW 2015 locations
Aims

The aim of the experiment was to examine the effect of crown rot on yield in 12 bread wheats, one durum wheat and five barley varieties of differing tolerance levels in southern NSW (sNSW).

Key messages
  • Yield losses of up to 20% due to crown rot were observed in 2015.
  • Losses ranged from 2%–11% in bread wheat and 1.5%–3% for barley.
  • Crown rot has a significant effect on gross margins when comparing grain quality and yields between crown rot treated and untreated plots.
  • Select the highest yielding varieties rather than those with enhanced crown rot tolerance to minimise losses.
  • Reduce the risk of crown rot infection by using crop rotation as well as stubble management.
