Resistant grass varieties and endophytes
Pasture dieback has emerged across Queensland causing significant impacts to pasture, affecting beef production systems. This project aims to identify pasture species that are resistant to dieback and find endophytes that protect grasses from mealybug attack. If successful, the outcomes provide both short term (pasture species)recommendations, assist plant breeding and longer restoration and protection of dieback-affected areas. This project is a component of the Dieback Program Plan delivering “KPI 7” of the DoA and Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) agreement (B.PAS.0002)).
