Disease pressure is changing but choice and timings of fungicides can make all the difference
Correct fungicide choice and timing of application is becoming more important than ever. Rising global temperatures are leading to increasing weather unpredictability and over recent seasons prolonged periods of drought and erratic rainfall have complicated the cereal disease landscape.
Disease prediction has becoming more challenging and disease management based on locality and expected weather conditions isn't as reliable, meaning additional information sources are needed.
At Bayer Crop Science, we know decisions aren't made in isolation and that disease management is a season-long programme, that's why we provide a wide range of crop protection products and tools designed to control key wheat and barley diseases and maximise yields no matter the weather.

Farming practice is key to a robust disease management programme
Weather volatility is being compounded by changing farming practices. From Eyespot to Yellow Rust disease pressures in the UK are becoming notoriously harder to anticipate. Unseasonable highs and lows in temperature and rainfall impact periods of spore release, survival, and germination and of course crop development. The move to min or no till strategies can add further to disease woes, creating a green bridge for diseases to survive on. In some areas, the need to reduce soil erosion dilutes cultural practices with pressure to get crops sown and avoid bare earth.
