Disease management in cereals is a challenge. Loss of chemistry and fungicide resistance means that we need new ways to manage cereal diseases. Our projects help support farmers and agronomists to manage cereal diseases. AHDB's fungicide performance research provides information on the effectiveness of new products. The Recommended List can help with selecting the best varieties for your farm.
Utilising our Strategic Farm network, Strategic Farm West, East and Scotland all decided to look at different adaptations to test whether a managed approach to lowering inputs can be used.
