Abstract

The trial was established in a commercial dryland field with 6 in. standing stubble in Bonneville County, ID. The field
had been cropped to wheat and barley in the preceding years using a one pass Case IH ATX Concord direct seed drill. The
soil type was a Tetonia silt loam classified as a coarse -silty, mixed, calcic, pachic cryoboroll with a pH of 6.3 and 2.6%
organic matter. Experimental units (5 x 30 ft) were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates.
Fungicide seed treatments were applied as a slurry (18.4 fl oz/100 lb seed) on 9 Apr at rates indicated in the table. Seed for
the check plots was only treated with water. Seeds were planted at 60 lb/A on 27 Apr with a direct-seed drill with Conserva
Pak openers. The openers placed the fertilizer (75 lb/A N, 25 lb/A P 2O5 , and 16 lb/A S) 1.5 in. below the seed in a one-pass
operation. The weeds and volunteer wheat were controlled by a 10 fl oz/A Round-up treatment on 25 Apr and a 0.3 oz/A
application of Ally Extra on 21 May. Stand counts were recorded on 21 May at Feekes growth stage 1 (3 leaves). Fifteen
plants per experimental unit were dug on 6 Jul at Feekes growth stage 10.1 to 10.5 (late boot to flowering) and rated for root
diseases. Root disease severity was established by placing the plants into the following categories: 0 = none, 1 = trace, 2 =
slight, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. Plots were harvested 29 Sept with a small plot combine. Yield and test weight were
determined. Data were analyzed using the general linear models procedure (Proc GLM) in SAS. Fisher's Protected LSD was
used for mean comparisons.
