Septoria tritici management in winter wheat was the topic at the Saltash Monitor Farm (Cornwall) webinar in January 2023. This recording details AHDB fungicide performance results and resistance monitoring data. The webinar also presented integrated control solutions, including the use of varietal mixtures. Finally, the webinar featured a perspective on septoria control in Ireland, where the erosion of disease resistance, associated with varieties that feature Cougar in their parentages, is a particular issue.
