Abstract:
Winter wheat yields have been largely reduced due to the effect of fungus on the crop. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the Priaxor fungicide at varying concentrations to note its effectiveness on winter wheat. The effects of the fungicide as determined by randomized plot treatments, controls, steady irrigation practices, weekly Feekes scale growth monitoring, and root digs were all used for the hard white winter wheat crop in Rexburg, Idaho in sandy loam soil.
