Spot form net blotch in barley has surged in WA's low-rainfall zone over the past decade as growers planted more susceptible varieties. Gerri the NVT Guru covers how the disease spreads in dry conditions, what damage it causes, and which new varieties might resist it.

We've probably seen more spotfall net blotch in the low rainfall environment over, say, the last 10 years because of the increased area of barley and the use of more susceptible varieties in these areas. So growers are going to learn a bit more about the epidemiology of the disease, how it actually acts in the low rainfall environment, the impact of the disease, and particularly the impact of the disease with some new varieties that are emerging.
