Hüberli, D., Connor, M., Miyan, S., MacLeod, W., Desbiolles, J., Bogacki, P. and McKay, A. (2013) Integrated disease management options to control rhizoctonia bare-patch in cereals. In: 2013 Agribusiness Crop Updates, 25 - 26 February, Perth, Western Australia

Abstract

Key Messages
• When sowing to wheat or another cereal in a paddock with a previous history of Rhizoctonia bare-patch, using cultivation below the seed (~10 cm) and a registered fungicide can reduce disease impact.
• A break crop of canola or a chemical fallow may be useful for reducing Rhizoctonia inoculum in the soil prior to sowing a cereal crop.
• In the near future, new in-furrow fungicide options, that improve the control of Rhizoctonia disease in barley and wheat, may become available to WA farmers.
