Assessment of the influence of strobilurin application on the nutritional requirement for malting barley

The overall objective is to determine the influence of strobilurin fungicide application on the nitrogen requirement for malting barley.Within this overall objective there are a number of component objectives that are interrelatedTo assess the impact of strobilurin fungicide over and above conventional triazole fungicides on nitrogen requirement for malting barley, in effect to quantify any interaction between disease management and applied nitrogen.To measure the effect of disease management using strobilurins on the yield and quality of winter wheat malting barley.To calculate the cost-effectiveness of strobilurin and applied nitrogen in relation to grain quality.
