Contrasting fungicide applications and genetic fusarium head blight resistance for enhanced yield and quality of barley.
Crop Types
- Barley
Collaborating Locations
IHARFBackground
This project will look at the effect of foliar fungicide strategies on the mitigation of FHB in barley.
Objectives
- To investigate the potential economic merits of contrasting foliar fungicide strategies in barley production.
- To investigate the potential for foliar fungicide applications and genetic FHB resistance to enhance end-use quality of barley.
