Adult plant resistance and strategic fungicide use for integrated management of cereal rust

To define the expression of adult plant resistance (APR) in a range of wheat cultivars in relation to environmental conditions and growth stage.To develop improved strategies for intervention with fungicides in the control of stripe rust and yellow leaf spot in susceptible and resistant wheat, and the communication of the strategies to industry stakeholder.To develop a model to support growers on the relative merits of applying fungicide for diease control, which takes account of climate, expected yield, economic outlook and genetic inputs including APR.
