    Biosensors herald new era of crop protection
    Author: Rebecca Thyer, 2022-06-26T09:00:00+10:00

    A diagnostic tool that harnesses the power of electrochemical biosensors can diagnose Botrytis grey mould in the field in less than an hour

  • Proactive plan key to FTR control
    Proactive plan key to FTR control
    Author: Rebecca Thyer, 2022-06-25T09:00:00+10:00

    Demonstration sites in the northern region are showing that a proactive plan, with residuals, follow-up management and crop competition are good options in the FTR battle
