The aim of this trial is to assess the effectiveness and ecoomic value of different fungicide strategies for managing disease and maintaining grain yield in field peas.
• There was no difference in observed disease incidence between treatments at any assessment timing through the season.
• Vegetative growth and canopy development was similar across all treatments.
• Despite the lack of differences in disease severity and NDVI, grain yield varied between treatments. Miravis® Star at 500 mL/ha (1.96 t/ha) or 750 mL/ha (1.91 t/ha) resulted in the highest yield, with other treatments including the Nil averaging 1.71 t/ha.
