Durum: Results of Fungicide Trials, ND 2001

 

The following chart is a summary of data across three locations, Carrington, Langdon and Garrison, ND.
Cultivars tested were Munich at Carrington, Plaza at Langdon, and Monroe durum at Garrison. Researchers
were Kent McKay, North Central Research Extension Center, Minot; John Lukach, Langdon Research
Extension Center, Langdon, and Blaine Schatz, Carrington Research Extension Center, Carrington.
Results indicate that FHB (scab) field severities were signifcantly reduced by all fungicide treatments.
DON levels (vomitoxin), were reduced by fungicide treatment, but not significantly so. Leaf diseases were
predominately tan spot and Septoria species and they were reduced significantly by the AMS treatment.
Yields were significantly improved by all fungicide treatments as were test weights. The greatest yield increase
was achieved with the AMS experimental product.

Folicur fungicide will have a Section 18 for use on wheat and barley in 2002. AMS 21619 is an experimental
product from Bayer and will NOT be registered in 2002. BAS 505 is an experimental product from BASF and
it will NOT be registered in 2002.
