Measuring and managing yield loss caused by Phoma root in lentil and faba bean (S/UA421)
START
July 1, 2021
FINISH
June 30, 2024
Summary
The effect of Phoma root rot on yield in lentil and faba bean is to be measured in a series of field trials which are inoculated with varying rates of the pathogen. Trials are subjected to various levels of soil water via supplementary irrigation to investigate the role of soil water in the root rot disease. A range of chemical options are tested for disease control.
