Timing-Dependent Responses of Fusarium Suppression and Malting Quality in Barley

Field experiments from 2022 and 2023 in the Argentine Pampas evaluated the effects of a plant defence elicitor on Fusarium graminearum suppression and malting quality in two commercial barley genotypes. The dataset, authored by Mauro Martínez, likely contains measurements of disease parameters, yield components, commercial grain traits, and industrial malting quality variables. It was last updated on May 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between elicitor application timing and Fusarium head blight incidence based on field trial data.
• Analyzing trade-offs between disease suppression and malting quality parameters like malt extract and friability.
• Comparing agronomic performance of different barley genotypes under elicitor-based protection strategies.

Strengths

• Data is based on field experiments conducted over two growing seasons (2022 and 2023).
• The description provides specific quantitative results for key variables like FHB incidence reduction and changes in malting quality.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is relatively small at 1.4 MB.
