HYC Disease Management Germplasm Interaction

To develop profitable and sustainable approaches to disease management in HRZ wheat.Individual objectives specific to the trial were:- Monitor the effectiveness of flutriafol in furrow for early disease control in wheat.- To evaluate whether newer germplasm or new fungicide chemistry allows a reduction in thenumber 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 Timing 1 (T1) spray applied at GS31-32.- To determine the cost benefit ratio of fungicide application in HRZ regions of different season lengths.
