- Intervention effect BCA treatments applied three times reduced the prevalence of STB by 55.56% and 35.45% relative to unprotected plants, in the two years.
- Intervention effect BCA treatments applied three times reduced the percentage of kernels with symptoms of infection by 44.69% and 36.46% relative to unprotected plants.
- Intervention effect Integrated fungicide and biological treatments inhibited STB by 47.62%.
- Intervention effect Integrated fungicide and biological treatments lowered the percentage of infected kernels by only 24.71% relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Grain treated with BCA had fewer OTUs of biotrophic pathogens, including Blumeria graminis.
- Intervention effect Grain treated with BCA had fewer OTUs of necrotrophic pathogens, including F. avenaceum.
- Recommendation Integrating fungicides with yeast biological treatments at flowering is a promising approach to controlling diseases in organically grown durum wheat.
