Developing management practices for septoria tritici blotch in wheat for medium rainfall zones locations
Aims

The aim of this trial is to develop integrated disease management strategies for STB in low and medium rainfall zones through variety and fungicide management strategies.

Key messages

• Seasonal conditions at Hart in the 2021 growing season were not conducive to septoria tritici blotch disease development.
• Fungicide applications for septoria tritici blotch management were not economical in the trials conducted at Hart in 2021.
