This project aims to provide growers with knowledge and experience in diagnosing soilborne pathogens from symptom expression on plant roots. It will also provide them with knowledge of management of these pathogens. This project demonstrates some management options in field situations and delivers extension activities nationally
The three treatments for this trial were implemented in 2021 including T1: brown manured field peas, T2: Uniform fungicide in-furrow, T3: pre-seeding deep ripping, and T4 was an untreated control plot. The 2021 wheat (Mace) yields were: 3 t/ha (T2), 2.3 t/ha (T3), and 2.8 t/ha (control).
In 2022, the site was sown with Scepter wheat, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the impacts of these treatments in the second year following their application.
