Trial location(s) Riverton, SA
Lentil disease management locations
Aims

To assess (1) yield loss from disease infection in lentil, (2) economics of disease control strategies, (3) disease infection risk under different crop canopies

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.
