15 Dec Seedbed utilization and fungicide timing impacted malt barley production

Posted at 23:01h in Disease

Fungicide applications at flag leaf emergence and heading growth stages reduced net-blotch severity and increased malt barley grain yield and kernel quality, but early fungicide applications at the 2- to 3-leaf stage generally had a limited impact. Placement of seed with 11 inch shovel openers...

28 Oct Flag-leaf timing best for fungicide application in malt barley

Posted at 20:52h in Disease

For improved leaf disease management and yield in malt barley, fungicide applications should include a flag leaf stage timing or later for adequate protection of upper canopy leaves, which are key contributors to yield and grain filling. A tank-mix of a one-half rate fungicide with...
