Abstract
- Some pasture crops are effective for reducing root lesion nematode (RLN; P. neglectus and P. quasitereoides) populations in a season, but others can greatly increase RLN populations.
- Oats are not a good break crop for reducing P. neglectus or crown rot levels in a paddock. However, for P. neglectus, oats are less susceptible than wheat and variety choice makes a difference. For crown rot, oats can increase inoculum levels similar to wheat.
- Fusarium pseudograminearum caused average yield losses of 4% in oat varieties tested, which is four times lower than check wheat varieties Mace and Emu Rock which had an average yield loss of 17%.
