This study evaluated the efficacy of fenpicoxamid, a novel picolinamide fungicide, for controlling major wheat foliar diseases under Romanian field conditions. Field trials were conducted during 2024/2025 growing season in Buzău and Neamț counties using Anapurna wheat variety. A standardized fungicide programme including SDHI, strobilurin, triazole, picolinamide, and their mixtures was applied across both locations. Disease pressure from Zymoseptoria tritici, Puccinia recondita, and Blumeria graminis was recorded during the season. The combination of fenpicoxamid + prothioconazole (50 g/L + 100 g/L) provided over 90% control of septoria tritici blotch (STB) at both sites. The efficacy against brown rust attack was 86.2% in Buzău location and 84.3% in Neamț location. Efficacy against powdery mildew was higher than 82% in both locations. The results demonstrated a high and constant efficacy under different pedoclimatic conditions. These conclusions confirm fenpicoxamid as an effective tool in integrated management of wheat diseases. Its performance supports its use in diverse production systems.
