Introduction

Net blotch and scald occur especially in cool, humid seasons.

Plate 122. Net blotch starts as light green or brown spots, enlarging, with lines appearing to give a "net" appearance.

Plate 123. Scald appears first as water-soaked, greyish-green spots turning to tan sots with brown margins.

Two-rowed cultivars are usually more susceptible to net blotch and scald than are six-rowed cultivars. To help prevent the build-up of these diseases, avoid growing barley after barley, plow down stubble and straw as completely as possible, and treat seed with fungicide (refer to OMAFRA Publication 812, Field Crop Protection Guide).
