These trials aim to test the efficacy of different fungicide regimes based around plant phenology. Although we possess a reasonable amount of knowledge regarding the disease and the conditions conducive to infection in broad beans, our understanding of which specific parts of the plant should be prioritised for disease protection remains somewhat limited. Consequently, the central question that the fungicide trials aim to address is: "When is the optimal timing for fungicide application within the canopy to maximise yield returns?"
