Wildfire impact on disease and pest populations and successional re-establishment in a grain crop fire scar

Recent bushfires across Australia adversely impacted a range of crops at different stages of growth. The impact of bushfires has been devastating but to derive some positive benefit, this investment will conduct surveillance of the impact of a mid-harvest and post-harvest bushfire on the known disease and pest populations of the Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island of South Australia, and the successional recovery of disease, pests and beneficial organisms over a term of 12 months.
