Fusarium species, infecting around flowering present the greatest risk to grain quality including reduced specific weight. Levels of DON (deoxynivalenol) and ZEA (zearalenone) are generally very low in UK barley. Risk factors are likely to be the same as those for wheat.
-
Check that intended pesticide treatments are acceptable to your buyer. Certain export malt markets have specific requirements.
-
If necessary, apply a T3 'earwash' spray (usually triazole based) to control ear diseases.
