    Research targets STB management in southern region
    Author: Grant Hollaway and Luise Fanning, 2021-11-13T09:00:00+11:00

    Agronomists and growers in the southern region’s low and medium-rainfall zones have raised concerns about the increased prevalence of Septoria tritici blotch and its impact on yields in their region. The disease was recently listed as the most important wheat disease in the southern region by GRDC’s National Grower Network.

  • Gene pool for yellow spot resistance expands
    Gene pool for yellow spot resistance expands

    Easy-to-use apps designed to help growers make informed disease-management decisions are now available for use on tablet devices. The latest app supports the management of stripe rust in wheat.

  • Pulse crops can cut root lesion nematode numbers
    Pulse crops can cut root lesion nematode numbers

    Management of root lesion nematodes relies on being able to identify nematodes and use resistant break crops to reduce the number of nematodes in the soil. New resistance ratings for pulse crops will help growers select the most-effective break crops.

  • Yield and crown rot tolerance targeted

    Author: Dr Steven Simpfendorfer, Clayton Forknall, Dr Daniel Hüberli, Dr Grant Hollaway and Dr Phil Davies, 2021-02-04T09:00:00+11:00

    Fusarium crown rot can be devastating in seasons with dry conditions during grain filling. Selecting a variety with good tolerance can limit yield loss. New research is targeting varieties that yield well regardless of Fusarium crown rot expression.
