Abstract
Seed dressing with Baytan (a.i. triadimenol) completely controlled powdery mildew for more than 60 days and reduced disease levels for the rest of the season, increasing barley yield by 11% at Esperance. In 16 field experiments in southern Western Australia representing 32 agro-climatic environments, Baytan increased yield by an average 7%; greater percentage yield increases occurred in high yielding crops with high disease in the control plots.
