In many Australian cropping soils the presence of nematodes limits field crop production. Since yield loss caused by nematodes is related to the density of nematodes in a paddock and the tolerance/intolerance of the crop, growers can minimise yield loss &/or reduce nematode numbers by growing crops or varieties that are tolerant of or resistant to the nematode. This investment will provide growers and their advisers with field tolerance and resistance ratings of newly released cereal and pulse cultivars and breeding lines to the important nematodes that limit yield in south-eastern Australia.
