Field pea blackspot sowing guide for Western Australia – 28 May 2018

Page last updated: Tuesday, 29 May 2018 - 2:44pm

Please note: This content may be out of date and is currently under review.

Field Pea Blackspot Management Guide is a location and season specific weekly forecast. It accounts for varietal resistance and chemical options, agronomic yield potentials, agronomic constraints (frost and terminal drought), risks of spores showers, disease severity, and disease related yield loss. It then weighs agronomic yield loss and disease yield loss and suggests a window of sowing dates. Field pea crops should be sown so that the majority of blackspot spores (approximately 60%) have been released prior to the crop emergence.

This prediction is based on DPIRD's Blackspot Manager model using weather data from 1 January 2018 to 28 May 2018 from the nearest weather station.

Blackspot risk Five out of 10 years Three out of 10 years One out of 10 years
Low 2 5 15
Medium 20 25 35
High 25 30 50
