Net blotches pose an escalating and urgent threat to Australian barley, costing the industry an estimated $122 million each year through disease-related yield losses, downgraded grain quality, and higher fungicide management costs.

The notice says widespread planting of susceptible varieties, growing barley on barley, and over-reliance on fungicides with a singular mode of action are driving pathogens to evolve and spread faster than current surveillance, varietal resistance breeding, management and extension efforts can respond.
