Winter Wheat Seed Fungicide Treat Evaluation Trial (2001)

Abstract

This report evaluates the agronomic performance of fungicides used as seed treats to protect winter wheat seedlings. The late September planting date reduced the chance of significant disease infection, cephalosporium stripe or dry land root rot, occurring on fall seeded cereals. Receiving the treated seed late in the planting season has hampered the assessment of the seed treatments effectiveness. The early May seeding date reduced the chance of significant cold seed decay occurring. Receiving the treated seed late in the planting season has hampered the assessment of the seed treatments effectiveness. The trial failed to meet its objective.
