Integrated disease management of black core rot in citrus

This project is developing tools for the effective management of citrus black core rot, which causes internal rot and bitter flavours in infected fruit that is often undetected until it reaches the juicing plant or kitchen bench. It aims to unravel the disease cycle, including sources of inoculum and timing of infection. A post graduate will be involved throughout the project to increase the future research capability of the Australian citrus industry.

CT20009 - Integrated disease management of citrus black spot and 'Emperor' brown spot

The Australian citrus industry has a strong export focus and must manage pesticide use carefully to ensure it meets Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) that vary in each overseas market. This project aims to identify complementary Integrated Disease Management (IDM) tools to assist growers to manage citrus black spot, 'Emperor' brown spot and citrus black core rot, in ways that ensure it complies with MRLs.
