NGN - Management strategies for wheat powdery mildew in southern NSW - Validation and extension

Wheat powdery mildew can cause up to 25% yield loss in Australia with commonly grown varieties possessing poor resistance, ranging from susceptible to very susceptible. Wheat powdery mildew is found throughout the wheat growing regions of NSW and is particularly problematic in the western lower rainfall areas of NSW in...

Advancing genetic solutions for crop protection in Australian wheat: identifying optimal combinations of APR resistance genes to Septoria tritici blotch (STB)

Wheat production is threatened by various diseases including Septoria tritici blotch (STB), a foliar disease of wheat caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici; GRDC, the [NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI)](https://www.growag.com/listings/organisation/nsw-department-of-primary-industry) and the Australian National University (ANU) are partnering in a $5.22 million project over five years to provide...

Effective Control of Blackleg of Canola

Canola in the 2nd most valuable grain crop in Australia producing 7.8 million tonnes in 2022. Blackleg is a devastating disease of canola, without control, canola cannot be produced in Australia. Blackleg is an ongoing concern as the populations constantly evolve to overcome genetic resistance and fungicides and has created...

Developing metabolite and lipid biomarkers to select for reduced frost sensitivity in wheat

Frost events near flowering significantly reduce wheat yields across the Australian cropping belt. Previous research, with limited germplasm, hinted at specific plant tissue composition-metabolites and lipids-as potential contributors to underlying differences in frost susceptibility. This project will validate the link between metabolite/lipid accumulation and frost susceptibility using a wide spectrum...

Quantifying fertiliser phosphorus use efficiency in Vertosols across the Northern Region

Understanding the fate of shallow or deep applied fertiliser P in Northern cropping systems is critical to inform grain growers on how much of their fertiliser P investment is actually feeding the crop and return on investment over time. This investment will use direct measures (i.e., radioisotopes) to quantify crop...

Dissecting the molecular basis of disease and resistance to Septoria tritici blotch

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a devastating disease of wheat caused by the pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. The disease is particularly prevalent in high rainfall zones and is capable of inflicting significant yield losses in the absence of appropriate management. Despite the impact of STB, the mechanistic basis of the...

NGN - Effective control of three corner jack (spiny emex) species in lentils in the mid and upper north of SA

The control of three corner jack (spiny emex) species in lentils has been raised as a significant constraint on light soils in the western areas of the mid- and upper-north of SA. Generally, due to multiple herbicide options, three corner jack is well controlled in cereals. However, feedback into the...

UA/SARDI - National Grains Diagnostic and Surveillance Initiative (NGDSI) National surveillance system for Karnal bunt

Exotic pests and diseases are a threat to Australian agriculture as they can potentially damage crops, increase costs and inhibit exports. The potential annual cost to growers to control an incursion and impact on trade during an incursion is conservatively estimated at $100.4M. Timeliness of detection and response are critical...
