Abstract

Foliar application of a number of broad-spectrum systemic fungicides (particularly conazole fungicides) to loose smut-infected plants of wheat and barley in a 3-spray programme resulted in a marked reduction in the percentage of plants producing infected ears. Such foliar fungicides may have a previously unseen role in reducing the levels of loose smut infection in wheat and barley.
