Lentil disease management locations
Aims

To assess (1) yield loss from disease infection in lentil, (2) economics of disease control strategies

Key messages

• The first step to good disease management is choosing a resistant variety. 

• Newer fungicides with dual actives can provide superior disease control of BGM of lentil and may preserve yields in a high disease situation.
