This project will investigate the effectiveness of existing and emerging wheat powdery mildew (WPM) control options across a range of varieties with diverse susceptibility ratings for growers and agronomists affected by powdery mildew in SA. It will investigate the agronomic efficacy and economic effectiveness of control options in each wheat variety to create new information on emerging powdery mildew. The project will also extend existing knowledge from current WPM SAGIT projects and newly generated findings to growers.

Jul 11, 2024 | Current Projects
This project aims to demonstrate to growers and agronomists the effectiveness of existing and emerging wheat powdery mildew (WPM) control options across varieties with diverse susceptibility ratings. It will also raise awareness of the importance of cultural considerations with regards to WPM management and an understanding of pathogen resistance to commonly used fungicides. This project provides an opportunity to extend existing knowledge generated through current SAGIT-funded WPM projects.
