Susceptible varieties treated to reduce yellow rust

Overall, crops are growing well on at Syngenta’s Luton platform site with T0 applied last week in near perfect conditions. With patches of yellow rust seen in the winter wheat, rust active triazoles were among the treatments applied at this research site. These trial plots, when compared to untreated trial areas, allow the Syngenta Trials Team to continue monitoring the efficacy of existing fungicides (both stand alone and as a programme), as well as researching and developing new, highly effective products and programmes.

The Syngenta Innovation Centres are specialist sites spread throughout the UK, with technical field experts trialling conditions, varieties, treatments and techniques to provide advice for agronomists and farmers. Come along to one of our open days to learn more about their research, and how it can benefit your crops. Find the dates and locations here.
