To develop profitable and sustainable approaches to disease management in High Rainfall Zone (HRZ) wheat.
• In a low yielding trial all fungicide treatments were significantly higher yielding than the untreated, however as was found in previous seasons, lower fungicide input based on one – two units of fungicide have been the most cost effective.
• Septoria tritici blotch (STB) was the principal disease in the trial with much less effect due to the new pathotype of stripe rust.
• There were no significant differences in grain quality as a result of fungicide treatment.
