Revisiting the value of early fungicide applications in wheat

  • Term: 3 years, beginning in 2018

  • Status: Complete (CLICK HERE for the performance story)

  • Funding Amount: $112,171

  • Lead Researcher(s): Sheri Strydhorst (Alberta Agriculture and Forestry)

  • Funding Partners: Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC), Alberta Innovates – Bio Solutions

Project Description

The proposed research will compare the yield and quality benefits of various fungicide application timings and the performance of new fungicide modes of action that have longer residual periods. This study will also investigate the interaction of fungicide use on two genetically diverse wheat cultivars.

The proposed project will answer questions surrounding early fungicide use and promote good stewardship principals. It will also deliver extension messaging to slow the development of fungicide resistance.
