Find out how to manage the most important diseases of wheat and barley
Introduction
This guide provides an overview of the most important diseases of wheat and barley. It outlines the key options for integrated pest management (IPM), with a focus on the main risk factors and key management steps. Disease management programmes that balance non-chemical and chemical options, in the context of fungicide resistance, are also summarised.
This web page contains all resources referred to within this guide. It also provides links to additional information for the main target diseases.
Key disease targets

Integrated pest management (IPM)
Use a pyramid of control measures to manage disease. An appropriate variety (to resist the main diseases present) and a well-designed rotation (to minimise disease pressure) are at the heart of IPM
The effect of foliar diseases
Despite increases in varietal resistance, in most situations, fungicides are required to keep the crop healthy during the growth stages that are most important for yield
How to monitor crop development and disease (webinar)
Learn how to disease score your crops and assess crop development through the season
