Since its launch in 2021, Fungicide Fingerprinting has provided the Australian grains industry with an independent platform to evaluate fungicide strategies in wheat and barley. Developed by FAR Australia, the initiative was established to generate consistent, objective data that helps growers and advisers make more informed disease management decisions.

By comparing fungicide programs under the same conditions, the network delivers valuable insights into disease control, crop performance and profitability. Bringing together researchers, agronomists, manufacturers and industry stakeholders, it provides an opportunity to assess both established and emerging fungicide strategies through a rigorous and transparent framework.

As disease pressures continue to evolve, independent programs such as Fungicide Fingerprinting play a critical role in supporting productive, profitable and sustainable cereal production across Australia.
