Suppression of Disease with Agronomic Practices in Recently Released Spring Wheat and Winter Wheat Cultivars
Suppression of Disease with Agronomic Practices in Recently Released Spring Wheat and Winter Wheat Cultivars, 2007 This study was designed to examine whether a synergy exists between chloride (Cl-) nutrition and fungicide application in winter and spring wheat. The study was conducted at two sites in North Dakota in 2007. Heading applications of Cl- were not effective in reducing scab in winter wheat. Soil application of Cl- as calcium chloride (CaCl2) reduced leaf diseases at one site.

Project Description
Wheat diseases (leaf and stem rust, tan spot, head scab, and root rot) can reduce wheat yield when the infection is obvious. However, these diseases also may occur at low background levels especially root rot where the damage and yield drag is not readily observed.
