Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Tebuconazole and tebuconazole + prothioconazole fungicides reduced Fusarium head blight symptoms by about 80% in wheat.
- Observation Averages across the years show a correlation of r = 0.90 or higher in wheat fungicide trials.
- Observation The stability differences between the poorest and best fungicides in wheat are about 10 or more times.
- Observation Stability differences between fungicides differ only slightly across mycotoxin accumulation, FHB index and Fusarium damaged kernels.
- Intervention effect Carbendazim, a weak fungicide, was effective in wheat only when no epidemic occurred or epidemic severity was very low.
- Observation Similar fungicide effects were seen on wheat cultivars that varied in FHB resistance.
- Observation Susceptibility to FHB differed about threefold between highly susceptible and moderately resistant wheat cultivars treated with fungicides.
- Intervention effect In moderately resistant wheat cultivars, about 50% of fungicide treatments lowered DON below the regulatory limit.
- Intervention effect In the most susceptible wheat cultivars, all fungicides failed to reduce mycotoxin levels low enough for grain acceptance.
- Intervention effect In the most susceptible wheat cultivars, fungicides significantly reduced disease.
- Method / resource Results of the small-plot testing system correlated well with large-scale field tests of fungicide application in wheat.
- Intervention effect The Turbo FloodJet nozzle reduced FHB incidence and DON contamination in wheat compared with the TeeJet XR nozzle.
- Recommendation Small-plot tests are recommended for evaluating the quality of field disease and toxin production in wheat.
