Disease epidemiology and management tools for Australian grain growers
Diseases are a major cause of yield loss and downgrading in Australian cropping businesses. This investment will conduct detailed epidemiology, disease management and validation experiments in all relevant grain growing regions. Disease targets will be prioritised through a quantitative potential impact analysis and are expected to include sclerotinia and blackleg upper canopy infection of canola; yellow leaf spot and Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) of wheat; net blotches of barley; Ascochyta and Botrytis diseases of pulses.
The investment will produce and deliver management tools and targeted risk information for priority diseases based on up-to-date weather, disease risk, fungicide, and disease resistance information.
