feathertop rhodes grass is a highly aggressive weed that, despite being a focus of several research efforts, is continuing to increase in incidence and severity in northern farming systems
soilborne disease management is reliant on correct identification of the causal pathogen, it is important that growers and advisors are supplied with the knowledge to be able to achieve this. the purpose of this investment is to extend to growers and advisors the different methods for correctly identifying soilborne pathogens. it will incorporate extension activities to assist symptom identification on the roots, promote the use of diagnostic services for pathogens that are difficult to identify by the naked-eye or may be present in a pathogen complex, and demonstrate management options available to reduce soilborne pathogen inoculum and impact.
investment proposes a series of interactive harvester set-up days located across western 30, southern 24 and northern 30 regions to service growers at subregion level. event delivery and duration will vary for each region. this three-year investment will inform growers, harvest contractors, advisors and machinery resellers on harvester set-up and front to back grain quality/ losses through an interactive program with the aim to maximise harvest efficiency and optimise grain losses including the integration of effective harvest weed seed control. information will be practical and delivered using a range of local grower’s machinery. development of extension materials and evaluation of the grower & contractor practice change as a result of attending will be incorporated into this investment and will include the development of case studies and video content. applicants can apply for delivery in one or multiple regions.
investment proposes utilising current grdc northern region branded and supported events, such as the grdc research updates and sponsored field days, to stage a series of short events breakfast or pre-dinner gatherings to support the introduction of experienced agronomists and advisers to graduate level agronomists. in addition, this investment encompasses the establishment of strong linkages into the relevant grdc northern region university/college campuses to develop the bridge between study and career.

production of high value, human consumption pulses in australia is dominated by lentil and chickpea, and is concentrated on the more fertile soils in the medium rainfall areas of the southern and northern regions. due to the farming system benefits of imposing a double break and the high prices in recent years, there is much interest in expanding lentil and chickpea production onto soils with a number of constraints acidity, nutrient toxicities and deficiencies, poor structure and into other rainfall zones. it is critical that new pulses be developed and managed such that the crop life-cycle fits within the constraints of availability of soil water, frost and heat stresses and flowering and pod-set occur in the optimum window for different agroecological zones
recent incursion of the barley disease ramularia has not been fully delimited around the areas of confirmed occurrence. as this disease can spread through infected seed, growers in these regions will need information on the relative risk of saving seed for planting the following year. other regions that currently have had no positive recordings will need to be surveyed to ensure that these areas are currently free from ramularia. ramularia in the northern hemisphere and new zealand has recently increased in pathogen aggressiveness, decreased in fungicide sensitivity and caused epidemics in germany. determining the occurrence of ramularia across the australian grain belt will inform the level of disease management options required including seed hygiene, fungicide and pre-breeding investments.
