APPLIED CROP PROTECTION 2O19

Chapter 1: Climate data for the growing season 2018/2019 and specific information on disease attack in
2019. The information was collected by AU.
Chapter 2: Disease control in cereals. Trials in this chapter were financed by ADAMA, Corteva, Bayer
Crop Science, BASF, Syngenta, Nordic seed, KWS and Sejet Plantbreeding, but certain elements were
also based on AU’s own funding.
Chapter 3: Control strategies in different cultivars. Trials in this chapter were financed by income from
selling the DSS system Crop Protection Online as well as input from Bayer Crop Science and BASF.
Certain elements were based on AU’s own funding as part of a PhD project (Rose Kristoffersen).
Chapter 4: Diseases in red fescue. The project was financed by ”Frøafgiftsfonden”.
Chapter 5: Fungicide resistance-related investigations. Testing for fungicide resistance is carried out
based on a shared cost covered by projects and the industry. In 2019 ADAMA, Corteva, Bayer, BASF
and Syngenta were involved from the industry. The Swedish part is financed by the Swedish Board of
Agriculture, and AU-AGRO was involved.
Chapter 6: Fungicide strategies against powdery mildew resistance in sugar beet. The project was
financed by ”Sukkerroe-afgiftsfonden”.
Chapter 7: Control of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and early blight (Alternaria solani) in
potatoes. Trials in this chapter were financed by Nordisk Alkali, Bayer, BASF, Syngenta. Major elements
were based on AU’s own funding as part of a PhD project (Isaac Abuley). Several of the trial plans were
carried out in collaboration with SEGES; these included the testing of DSS.
Chapter 8: Screening of herbicide efficacy on different Bromus species. The project was financed by
agricultural tax funds (promilleafgiftsmidler) via SEGES.
Chapter 9: Drift from different application techniques in potatoes and the influence of a filter crop in
the buffer zone. The investigation was financed by “Kartoffelafgiftsfonden” as a part of the project:
“Mekaniske, termiske og kemiske metoder til nedvisning af kartofler”.
Chapter 10: Spray drift from application techniques when desiccating offshoots in strawberry. The study
was financed by “Danish Horticulture”.
Chapter 11: Spray drift and deposition uniformity with conventional technique and Hardi Twin air
assistance at two wind speeds. The study was financed by Hardi International A/S.
Chapter 12: Results of crop protection trials in minor crops in 2019. The projects were financed by
various agricultural tax funds, GUDP, chemical companies and Swedish minor use funding.
