Nabawa, WA
Aims
To monitor the presence of soilborne disease levels in the farming system following the legume pasture, Sothis.
Key messages
In 2018 and 2019 Sothis increased soil levels of the root lesion nematode P.neglectus when compared to chemical fallow trial strips.
During the 2020 season Rhizoctonia levels increased from zero to high risk levels in oats with Sothis germinating underneath.
Monitoring of soilborne diseases through different rotations and seasons helps increase understanding of the impact on our farming systems
