Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Yield varied among environments.
- Observation Disease pressure varied among environments, greatest in 2005 and least in 2006.
- Intervention effect Fungicides improved yield by 5.5 to 44.0% within environments averaged across cultivars.
- Observation Cultivar yields differed significantly in each environment.
- Observation Cultivar by fungicide yield interactions occurred in four of five environments.
- Association Except in 2005, the most fungicide-responsive varieties were the most disease susceptible.
- Association In 2005 the most fungicide-responsive cultivars had the best disease tolerance.
- Intervention effect Fungicides reduced leaf spots and Fusarium head blight.
- Intervention effect Fungicides provided near complete leaf rust control.
- Recommendation Combining fungicides with genetic resistance offers the best monetary return under high disease pressure.
