Project Objectives |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Economic level of yield protection vs cost of treatment |

Methodology |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple testing that’s easy for any wheat farmer to do. 1 treatment
reped 3 times with check strip randomized. Perpendicular 2nd
treatment and check 3 reps and randomized. Collect leaf samples from
several of the cells to determine disease thresholds and GPS collect
yield data and analyze benefits/extra costs of treatments. |

Expected outcome / Benefit to KARA |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wheat disease is potential problem for whole state. Do fungicides
pay? Ease of putting out a study. |
