Scald (barley disease) of the disease involves the use of clean and/or treated seeds, resistant cultivars, crop rotation, residue management, and foliar fungicides. Cultivars with scald resistance are available in all major barley growing areas. The level of resistance occurs along a spectrum and the degree of resistance that is required to effectively control the disease will depend on the region where it is grown, cropping practices that reduce initial disease inoculum, wetter conditions and fungal pathotypes. Foliar fungicides can be used to effectively control disease development. Product selection, application rates and timing, depend upon numerous factors. The availability of fungicides as a
