To develop profitable and sustainable approaches to disease management in HRZ barley. 

To develop profitable and sustainable approaches to disease management in HRZ barley.

To develop profitable and sustainable approaches to disease management in HRZ barley.

To develop profitable and sustainable approaches to disease management in high yielding and HRZ regions.
Individual objectives specific to the trial were:
- To evaluate whether newer germplasm or new fungicide chemistry allows a reduction in the number of fungicide applications whilst increasing profitability (note: reducing the number of fungicides is seen as a key measure for slowing down resistance development in cropping systems).
- Examine whether there is germplasm (varieties tested) that has sufficient early season disease resistance to replace the need for the “at sowing fungicide” and Timing 1 (T1) spray applied at GS31-32.
- To determine the cost benefit ratio of fungicide application in HRZ regions of different season lengths.
