Barley seed dressing

I’ve had my spring barley seed tested and it’s come back with a 20% infection with Pyrenophira teres. Would you put a single purpose dressing on, or just drill without any pink stuff??

I had a similar result on mine, so I had it dressed with Redigo Pro. Prothioconazole is the best on net blotch I didn't want to be fighting the disease in the crop from the outset.

Haven't ever used a seed dressing on farm saved spring barley.

Usually get 3t/acre unless we get drought.

Not saying that a dressing wouldn't be economically beneficial. Just my experience.

Spring barley has shown poor responses to fungicides in the past. I guess it's just insurance with a slightly higher chance of a payback. Mine was going through a seed dresser anyway for cleaning & bagging, so the extra for the dressing wasn't significant.
