DAW00212 - Western Region nematology IDM research and development
This project incorporated field, glasshouse and laboratory research. As one or more species of root lesion nematodes (RLN) occur in at least 65% of Western Australian (WA) paddocks and limit productivity in at least 40% of these paddocks, the three RLN species that cause the most impact in WA were targeted. These are…Region: West

PHA00016 - Biosecurity preparedness for the grains industry - High-throughput…
Karnal bunt (KB) is caused by a fungus ( Tilletia indica ) which affects bread wheat, durum wheat and triticale. While KB causes little yield loss, it can be difficult to manage in rotations and detection of spores in grain shipments is a quality issue and can result in consignment rejection to current grain export markets. This scoping study…Region: South

ACC00004 - Ascochyta and botrytis management in lentils with pre and post…
This project has played a significant role in changing fungicide use in lentils. Growers have reduced fungicide applications from five to six applications in good seasons to two strategically timed applications. In addition, the importance of canopy development and density and influence of seasonal conditions on the development…Region: National

BGP00001 - Releasing agricultural weed seed dormancy through application of a…
Weed herbicide resistance is prevalent throughout large areas of Australia's crop growing regions. Inefficient use of herbicides has developed due to a poor understanding of weed seedbank dynamics and seed biology, particularly seed dormancy. This project focussed on stimulating weed seed germination through the use of a recently identified novel compound (a karrikinolide), which …Region: West
