Canola fungicides: Worth the spray in medium rainfall zones?
About this episode
The episode discusses the effectiveness of fungicide applications on canola in medium rainfall zones, focusing on Sclerotinia management.
How do you know if it’s worth spraying fungicide on canola to keep diseases like Sclerotinia at bay? Maurie Street, from Grain Orana Alliance in Dubbo and Rohan Brill from Brill Ag in the Riverina, have been conducting field trials on the yield response to different spraying scenarios when dealing with Sclerotinia and discuss the logic behind making decisions at the beginning and even in the middle of a growing season.
