- Results from the first year of a three-year project between CCDM researchers and Western Australian farmers indicates barley net blotch Group 3 fungicide resistance is present in more locations in the south-west of WA than previous reports.
- Reduced sensitivity to Group 3 fungicides is now very common across the southern WA wheatbelt
- Working together, growers and researchers are developing an up-to-date snapshot of net blotch issues and solutions to control the disease.
