Efficacy of different foliar fungicides to manage sclerotinia stem rot in canola

Abstract

Key findings •• Fungicides with different active ingredients had similar efficacy. •• Timing application was the most important factor in reducing sclerotinia stem rot development. •• Disease levels were reduced across all treatments, in particular at 30% bloom and the multiple applications at both 30% and 50% bloom stages. •• Yield increases were observed across all treatments, regardless of the fungicide’s active ingredients.
