  Author(s): Nemomsa Beyene* and Amsalu Abera
  
  Barley ranks fourth among the cereals in both yield and hectare coverage at global level next to wheat, rice and maize. Net blotch is one of the most important barley diseases which reduce both quality and quantity of barley grain. Currently, the disease can be controlled using different approaches. The aim of this work is to test the effectiveness of different fungicides. Progress 250 EC, Rexdou, Tilt 250 EC, Skyway Xpro EC 275 and Zantara EC 216 against net blotch of barley disease compared to unsprayed control. The experiment was conducted in west Showa Zone at the site which is well known as net blotch disease hot spot. The experiment was conducted on plots of 25 m2. The results showed that, significant (P<0.05) difference among treatments. Skyway Xpro EC 275 fungicide reduced the incidence, severity, grain yield loss, by 79.78, 88.98 and 49.97%, over fungicide unspr.. View more»
