Effective virus management in grain crops (C3)
Insects lack the ability to synthesise sterols that are essential for their cellular structure and hormone synthesis. As such, insects require a dietary source of sterol and herbivorous pests, such as aphids, rely on sterols from plants. However, only a small group of plant sterols can be utilized by insects....

Effective virus management in grain crops (C1)
Viruses are a pervasive and sometimes a hidden threat to grain and oilseed production across Australia. Numerous viruses affect grain production, varying in their modes of transmission, the crops they affect, and their management strategies. Often, viruses lead to asymptomatic infections; however, when symptoms do occur, they can be easily...

DEECA - National Grain Diagnostic & Surveillance Initiative (NGDSI)
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...

Epidemiology, economic thresholds and management of Ascochyta blight and Botrytis diseases in lentil and faba beans.
The profitability of lentil and faba beans is limited and threatened by the presence of diseases. Ascochyta blight and Botrytis diseases (Botrytis Grey Mould and Chocolate Spot) are the most serious disease constraint impacting on lentil and faba bean production in the absence of control, AB in lentil and faba...

[NBC] Program 5 - Integrated management strategies for Net Form Net Blotch in low, medium, and high rainfall zones.
Net form net blotch (NFNB) is an important foliar fungal disease of barley that decreases grower profitability by impacting yield and quality. Yield losses in susceptible varieties can range from 18-31%. Generally, less prevalent than Spot form net blotch (SFNB) over the last decade, NFNB is becoming increasingly common since...

Increasing stable lupin productivity through enhanced disease resistances
This project involving a collaboration between Western Australia Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), Murdoch University, Curtin University and Australian Grain Technology (AGT) aims to improve the disease resistance of narrow leafed lupin to four prominent diseases. This five-year project will screen and genotype a core set of...

Predicting wheat production and development in high yield potential environments
What do the nitrogen bank, grain and graze crops, and understanding yield gaps have in common? Answer: the crop simulation model APSIM. APSIM has tested all of these ideas in low and medium yield environments. This project aims to improve APSIM for high wheat yields, so it can be better...
