Economic return of controlling spot type net blotch in Kwinana East port zone locations
Aims

To investigate the economic return of spraying fungicide for spot type net blotch in barley in the eastern wheatbelt.

Key messages
  • Fungicide spray significantly reduced the disease severity of spot type net blotch (STNB) in barley in Muntadgin in 2017.
  • There was no yield penalty from not applying fungicide in the 2017 growing season in Muntadgin.
  • There was no economic benefit from fungicide spray for controlling STNB in Muntadgin in 2017.
