Value of pulse crops

Multiple trials around the theme of improving and quantifying the benefit of pulses to subsequent crops. This will include comparisons of crop types in 2022, followed by cereal crops in 2023, and techniques to increase biomass (early sowing) and increase N fixation (rhizobia studies)

Validation and extension of management strategies for wheat powdery mildew

The objectives include validation of the effectiveness of varietal resistance, application rates and timing, efficacy of pre and post emergent fungicides to assess how different actives (DMI, QoI and SDHI fungicides) perform in the presence of resistant powdery mildew mutations.

In 2022 the project had three main field components

  • Investigating best management of wheat powdery mildew through small plot trials.
  • Surveying grower paddocks to determine frequency of mutations conferring reduced sensitivity or resistance to DMI and QoI fungicides.
  • Understanding the cause of spatial variability in mildew incidence related to soil type. Collecting samples from for nutrient analysis.

Validation and demonstration of decision-making tools for managing blackleg in canola in the Western Region

The primary purpose of this project was to provide additional data from a range of different agricultural scenarios (climate, soil type, management practices) in the Western Region to validate and enhance the ability of the BlacklegCM app to more accurately determine the return on investment various management decisions may provide to a grower in any given year. The secondary purpose of this investment is to increase the grower and advisor confidence in the use of decision-making tools to manage disease in canola in the Western Region, in particular increase the awareness and use of the BlacklegCM app.
