FAR Australia is launching a series of extension and education aids for growers and industry using multiple mediums which the organisation has termed FAR Australia e-Products.

This series of e-Products will be known as inGRAINed 'cropping strategies', inGRAINed 'YouTube videos' and inGRAINed 'podcasts', each of which will be published throughout the growing season.

We are pleased to share Issue 1 of inGRAINed 'cropping strategies' covering 'fungicide strategies for wheat in the HRZ regions'. 

Disease Management in wheat (2023)

National overview for the High Rainfall Zone (HRZ)

Currently the spectrum of foliar wheat disease varies enormously across the HRZ of Australia, and, as a consequence requires different management approaches. For a number of regions, the expected change to drier conditions forecast back in the autumn has yet to happen, but could well be a consideration for those growers in longer season HRZ scenarios in Victoria, SA and Tasmania where fungicide decisions will be made later in the spring. It’s by no means an exhaustive list but there are a number of factors to consider as we think about our foliar fungicide management plan for wheat crops this spring.
