HGCAs project work in wheat fungicide performance trials

Details of the field trial protocol can be found at the bottom of the page but the main change has resulted in a 2-spray programme for the Septoria tritici trials now being used, which will allow better data to be generated on protectant and eradicant activity of foliar fungicide sprays.

Results from these experiments represent the performance that can be expected in commercial practice when disease pressure is high. The performance of individual active ingredients can be assessed by comparing dose-response curves. These show average performance measured across a range of sites, seasons, leaf layers and disease assessments.

Often a fungicide which is effective against one disease is less effective against others, so a tank mixture, or a formulated commercial product containing a mixture of active ingredients, may be needed to cover the range of diseases posing a risk.
