Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Maximum Ascochyta blight disease severity reached 87% at Horsham.
- Observation Maximum Ascochyta blight disease severity reached 94% at Curyo.
- Observation Maximum Ascochyta blight disease severity reached 87% at Nhill during 2020.
- Association Partially resistant cultivar Genesis 090 had substantially lower grain yield losses (64%) than susceptible PBA Striker (96%) at Curyo in 2020.
- Intervention effect Preventative fungicide strategies reduced grain yield losses in PBA Striker from 96% to 51%.
- Intervention effect Preventative fungicide strategies reduced grain yield losses in Genesis 090 from 64% to 15%.
- Association Dry conditions limited chickpea grain yield to less than 0.6 t/ha, where fungicide use was not profitable.
- Association Post infection fungicide timing had greater yield losses in sites and seasons with higher rainfall.
- Recommendation Dual active ingredient fungicides and partially resistant cultivars could allow fewer fungicide applications and higher profitability in chickpea.
- Recommendation Controlling Ascochyta blight through cultivar resistance and fungicides improves chickpea grain yields, grain quality and grower profitability.
