Aims

Evaluate the potential to manage disease more sustainably in Faba beans through improving management guidelines that dissect the interaction between fungicide application timing and improved genetic resistance. 

Key messages

• PBA Bendoc visually suffered from pale lime green leaves compared to PBA Amberley. 

• PBA Amberley retained more green leaf in the lower layer of the canopy at late flower. 

• 3 fungicide, 4 fungicide, and the 2 fungicide $$$ regimes significantly increased harvest dry matter.

Acknowledgments

The research undertaken as part of the GRDC-invested SA Grain Legume Validation project (UOA2105- 013RTX) is made possible by the significant contributions of growers through both trial cooperation and the support of the GRDC, and the authors would like to thank them for their continued support. The continued support from industry and breeding organisations for the provision of chemical products and pulse varieties for use in field trials is also gratefully acknowledged and appreciated.
