Project Type: Grant
Start Date: Jun 1, 2015
End Date: May 31, 2019
Objective:
Evaluate spring and winter barley varieties for competitive grain yield, quality and scab resistance.
Approach:
Small plots will be established and each variety will receive 1. no fungicide, 2. fungicide at recommended timing, and 3. fungicide 2-6 days after recommended timing. Varieties will be grouped into two estimated maturity groups (early and late). Inoculation, misting, evaluation and harvest will take place in order to accommodate anthesis timing of each group. Field nurseries will be inoculated using the grain spawn method.
