Tillage
Ramularia leaf spot (RLS) is a disease that attacks barley crops late in the season: losses are linked to reductions in photosynthetic area.
Ramularia has the potential to reduce yield on winter barley by up to 1t/ha. On spring barley this figure ranges around 0.5-0.7t/ha.
Chlorothalonil is on the way out and while alternatives are being examined it appears the current alternatives don't provide the same control.
