0.5 – 0.75 l/ha Revystar® XE
AHDB fungicide performance data confirm the value of Revystar® XE on mitigating ramularia infection (Ramularia 2019 – 1 winter and 1 spring barley trial).
Due to resistance, strobilurins, SDHIs and conventional azoles including prothioconazole now offer limited Ramularia protection. In the absence of chlorothalonil, fungicide performance experiments conducted by ADAS, NIAB TAG, SRUC and Teagasc on behalf of AHDB highlight that Revystar® XE remains the key fungicide for ramularia control.
Foliar symptoms of Ramularia are more prevalent in crops that are stressed. Compounding this is continued leaf wetness and increased cumulative temperature – both known to be conducive to ramularia development.
T2 maintains the potential of barley, and fungicide applications must:
Rainfall in combination with warming temperatures is likely to result in rapid spring barley growth. Weak straw can result in an increased brackling risk, particularly where PGR timings are compromised. As well as effectively controlling disease, fungicides containing Xemium® have proven over many years to reduce brackling and necking in barley. Any unforeseen delay to harvest exacerbates head loss in barley and strengthening the straw will mitigate this symptom.
