UWA00171 - Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative - Phase 5

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative (AHRI), was created in 1997 as the principle R&D effort to tackle the major herbicide resistance problems challenging Australian grain cropping. AHRI has now grown to be a major centre of international expertise. This investment continues AHRI for a fifth phase (2020-25) focussing on resistance...

Determining the incidence of herbicide resistance in Australian grain cropping

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

There are currently 47 weed species which have confirmed herbicide resistance status in Australia. These are resistant to 10 different Modes of Action and 30 of these species are known to be weeds in crop production systems. This investment seeks to further understand the incidence and extent of herbicide resistant...

Weed species for potential research investment

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This investment will assess existing weed risk and prioritisation frameworks for their suitability to be applied to prioritising the research and development focus for weeds in the Australian grains industry. The most appropriate system will be modified if necessary and then applied to determine the R&D priorities from a list...

Australian Cereal Rust Control Program - Continued monitoring of cereal rust pathogens in Australia

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Rusts are a common fungal disease of plants, including many of Australia's cereal and horticultural crops. They are prevalent in most wheat growing areas around the world, threatening global wheat yields. Rusts are highly adaptable and evolve to overcome resistance. This project builds on longstanding work focussed on reducing the...

Surveys and associated diagnostics of the incidence and severity of diseases of cereals and pulses within the southern region (Victoria).

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This project will capture data to establish the current prevalence and severity of diseases of cereals and pulses in the GRDC's southern region. Structured surveys will provide detailed information on disease prevalence and severity, while less structured paddock inspections and interactions with industry will provide additional information. The implementation of...

Surveys and associated diagnostics of the incidence and severity of diseases of cereals and pulses within the northern region

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This project aims to enhance partnerships with industry and state and federal agencies to provide disease surveillance and related diagnostic capacity in major production areas of the GRDC's northern region. In-paddock disease surveillance will provide quantitative and longitudinal data on disease incidence and severity. This will assist in informing disease...

Surveys and associated diagnostics of the incidence and severity of diseases of cereals, pulses and oilseeds in the western region

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Random stratified surveys will be conducted across the GRDC's western region recording the incidence and severity of the established and emerging diseases of cereals, oilseeds and pulses and provide proof of area freedom for HPP exotic disease.

Distribution of ramularia across the Australian grain belt

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Ramularia leaf spot (RLS) caused by Ramularia collo-cygni is a barley disease found in most areas of the world and recently confirmed to be present in Western Australia and Tasmania. Disease spreads aerially by spores within a season while internally infected seed also plays a role in its distribution. This...

Prevention and preparedness for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) - Output 2

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a significant global biosecurity threat because of its ability to spread rapidly within and between countries. It is a typical transboundary pest species that cannot easily be contained by individual country quarantine restrictions. In Australia, as elsewhere, the characterisation of FAW, including clarification of...
