Summary
UCI BlacklegCM is a tool designed to help growers and consultants with management decisions for canola upper canopy blackleg infections in Australia.
UCI BlacklegCM factors in grain price, input costs, yield benefits, seasonal conditions, crop circumstance and conditions, state, fungicide strategies and other diseases to give you the best case, worst case and most likely estimates of financial return from different management strategies.
Research into blackleg upper canopy infection (UCI) is ongoing. The app will be updated as new information becomes available.
UCI BlacklegCM does not account for all factors that can affect blackleg upper canopy infection (UCI), so information provided by this tool should not be considered to be tailored to the circumstances of any individual farm.
