Barley Disease Control
It is vital to control disease from early in the season to maintain a disease free crop from tillering onwards. Emphasis must be placed on a programmed approach to barley disease control.
T1
- T1 fungicides are essential for primary disease control (rhynchosporium, net blotch, brown rust and mildew) and are the foundation to retaining tiller numbers and creating yield.
- T1 Fungicides need to applied between GS30-31. Do not delay until GS32 or you will compromise disease control which will lead to the loss of important tillers.
Xemium® (fluxapyroxad) and F500 (pyraclostrobin) are the most effective actives on the market for the control of early season diseases: Rhynchosporium, net blotch and brown rust.
For specific knowledge on Rhynchosporium , net blotch , brown rust please visit the disease pages.
T2
- The key timing for T2 fungicides is GS45
- A correctly timed T2 fungicide is central to effective Ramularia contol
