HGCA funds a wealth of research on disease control including independant fungicide performance testing, disease monitoring and varietal testing.
This section will provide information on all the research carried out along with links to relevant reports, tools and other useful information
Disease control resources
Fungicide performance
Independent information on fungicide performance across a range of diseases in wheat, barley and oilseed rape
Cereal Disease Encyclopaedia
The online Cereal Disease Encyclopaedia has been created as an interactive version of the hard copy; The Encyclopaedia of Cereal Diseases.
Wheat Disease Management Guide
The wheat disease management guide brings together the latest information on foliar, stem-base, root and ear diseases. It also includes a section on ensuring good seed health. A full version of the guide and the individual sections that make up the guide can be downloaded.
Barley Disease Management Guide
This guide aims to provide barley growers with up-to-date information on diseases that affect their crop and options for control.
Crop Monitor
www.cropmonitor.co.uk
Up to date reports of disease and pest levels in crops across England.
Cereal Growth Stages - a guide for crop management
A handy guide for identifying cereal growth stages when applying sprays and fertiliser treatments.
The Wheat Growth Guide
First published in 1997, this important reference guide has been updated to reflect important changes in variety performance and increased knowledge over the past decade.
Fungicide Resistance Management in Cereals
Fungicides, in combination with exploitation of resistant varieties and other agronomic and cultural techniques, will be the mainstay of cereal disease control for the foreseeable future and so must be protected from the threat of resistance.
Winter wheat virus samples required for new research
A PhD project looking at winter wheat viruses in the UK is asking for unidentified virus samples to be sent in to aid data collection this season.
