Take-all life cycle and disease symptoms in cereals

Information on pathogen spread and the classic infection symptoms.

Take-all decline and cereal disease management

Antagonistic microbial organisms help stabilise disease pressure and, eventually, contribute to its decline.

With varietal resistance and chemical options limited, adequate reduction of disease requires the use of cultural control.

Our guidance covers major and minor diseases that affect wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale.

With varietal and fungicidal control limited, tackling take-all requires a solid understanding of the causal pathogen.
