Influence of crop growth and weather conditions on speckled leaf blotch in winter wheat

Tests a model that links field development of speckled leaf blotch (SLB), a foliar disease of winter wheat caused by Septoria tritici (teleomorph Mycosphaerella graminicola), to weather events, and compares disease severity between plots treated with fungicide applied at three different crop growth stages or according to the model.
