Barley leaf rust management - Allora locations
Aims

To evaluate fungicide management strategies for the control of leaf rust in barley and the impact on yield and grain quality.

Key messages
  • Disease levels were low to moderate with significant suppression from all fungicides 
  • Timing 1 applications were made ~2-3 weeks prior to ‘more rapid’ disease build-up 
  • Tilt Xtra 250 mL x 2 applications and Amistar Xtra 400 mL provided the most effective leaf rust control  
  • Triazole Teb and Triazole Pro (both at the high label rate) provided significantly lower levels of leaf rust suppression than all fungicides other than Tilt Xtra 250 mL
  • There was no significant impact from any fungicide treatment on yield 
  • There was no significant impact from any fungicide treatment on grain quality
