Emerging cereal diseases in the south, with a focus on Septoria Tritici Blotch (STB)
Spring is a critical time for disease detection in order to avoid or at least minimise yield losses; and already we are seeing higher infection levels than in previous years.\xa0\nDr Hari Dadu is a senior research scientist with Agriculture Victoria has nearly a decade of experience working with crop diseases and is now leading the Septoria tritici blotch research in wheat, in the low and medium rainfall areas of the southern region.\xa0\nAnd in addition to this research, GRDC is also investing in three more projects in this space to develop new genetic resources \u2013 that will allow growers to have multiple solutions to reduce crop losses in near future.\xa0\nDownload the transcript for this episode\n\nContact:\nDr Hari Dadu\xa0\nAgriculture Victoria\xa0\nhari.dadu@agriculture.vic.gov.au\xa0\n\nMore Information:\xa0\n\nDisease ratings can be found on GRDC\u2019s National Variety Trials website > nvt.grdc.com.au\xa0\n\nAgriculture Victoria produces its Cereal Disease Guide which can be accessed through\n\nThe Australia Fungicide Resistance Extension Network\u2019s website is AFREN.com.au\xa0\n\n\nAdvancing genetic solutions for crop protection in Australian wheat: identifying novel resistance genes to Septoria tritici blotch\xa0\n\nDissecting the molecular basis of disease and resistance to Septoria tritici blotch\xa0\n\n\nProject Code: FTS2006-001SAX, DJP2104-004RTX\nLearn more about your ad choices.
