Aims

To assess efficacy of registered fungicides for Ascochyta control

Key messages
  • Ascochyta blight was only present at low levels in the trial and did not impact grain yield.  
  • The products Dithane Rainshield (group M3), Veritas Opti (group 3 + 11), Polyram DF (group M3) and Captan (group M4) did not provide any ascochyta blight control compared to the untreated control. 
  • Products containing an SDHI active ingredient provided the greatest level of ascochyta blight control, including Filan, Miravis Star, and Aviator Xpro.
