Times of sowing, insecticide treatment, and cultivar tolerance were studied as potential control methods for barley yellow dwarf (BYD) in autumn-sown barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in northeast Italy. Tests in three locations over 4 years demostrated that BYD damage can be substantially avoided without yield losses due to frost by sowing between October 15 and 30. Spraying with insecticides limited the spread of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) by eliminating the aphid vectors, making it possible for farmers to sow at the beginning of October when the environment is more favorable for wheat, but not necessarily for
