Barley growers from the West Australia Wheatbelt were invited to share information on their fungicide resistance management strategies. The study aimed to identify gaps in growers' knowledge about issues like fungicide resistance and the objective and/or perceived obstacles and constraints associated with the management of fungal epidemics. To gather this information, we used a case study approach and co-designed the survey in collaboration with industry stakeholders. Socio-economic data was collected using in-depth phone interviews (which made up 82% of the responses) and self-administered questionnaires (which accounted for 18%). The data included both qualitative and quantitative responses. This data covered several aspects: growers' demographic details, barley production statistics, current knowledge and understanding about fungicide resistance, current agronomic practices, willingness to pay to mitigate fungicide resistance risk, types of fungicide resistance management extension services growers currently use, the reasons for their preferences and additional types of fungicide resistance management extension services growers would like to access in the future.
西澳大利亚小麦带的大麦种植者受邀分享他们的抗真菌剂抗性管理策略信息。该研究旨在找出种植者在抗真菌剂抗性等问题上的知识空白，以及与真菌病害管理相关的客观和/或感知到的障碍与限制。为收集这些信息，我们采用了案例研究方法，并与行业利益相关者共同设计了调查问卷。社会经济数据通过深度电话访谈（占回复的82%）和自填式问卷（占18%）收集。数据包括定性和定量回复。这些数据涵盖了几个方面：种植者的人口统计细节、大麦生产统计数据、对抗真菌剂抗性的当前知识和理解、当前的农艺实践、为降低抗真菌剂抗性风险愿意支付的费用、种植者当前使用的抗真菌剂抗性管理推广服务类型、他们偏好的原因以及种植者未来希望获得的其他抗真菌剂抗性管理推广服务类型。
