This year the same random block design was followed but only
the combination of Aur 6 + Aur 9 was used, since it was the most
effective treatment in 2005. Different patterns were assayed and
treatments were as follows: (A) untreated control, (B) seed
inoculation, (C) a single bacterial dose on leaves when 0.5% of
foliar severity was reached and Tebuconazol, and (D) leaf doses in
three phenological stages (late boot stage, flowering and early
milk), as described by Lancashire et al. (1991), irrespective of foliar
severity. In all cases, bacterial treatments were delivered at
500 L ha1.
