A busy September for our Fungal Root Pathology team! 🌱💦
Our new @DPIRDbroadacre root-washing facility processed 276 plots & 5,500+ plants across #SBDI_P3 Rhizoctonia trials & Cold Plasma this September.
Plenty of soil, water & teamwork supporting @theGRDC research! 🌱

Not seeing classic patches doesn't necessarily mean rhizoctonia is absent. DPIRD plant pathologist Daniel Huberli explains how sowing time can influence the symptoms seen in the paddock. Latest Grains Convo on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 👉sbrew.link/okxm3j2V

Patchy growth reported in Scepter wheat near Yuna & Spartacus barley near Cuballing. Potential causes include rhizoctonia, take-all, root lesion nematodes & other soil constraints. Diagnosis can guide management decisions for 2027 #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest

Growers and consultants - last spots available for Crop Insect & Disease Identification Workshop on 18-20 August in South Perth. Strengthen your ID skills and learn about integrated management approaches. @GRDCWest More info 👉 sbrew.link/PKVRQIE6
Collaboration in action! Great to host @theGRDC SBDI National Coordinator Grant Hollaway for the WA #SBDI_P3 Field Day. Bringing together researchers, technical staff, DPIRD & AAGI biometricians and field operations to deliver robust science for grain growers. @DPIRDbroadacre

$1.7B a year 😲
That’s the cost soilborne diseases and nematode pests to Aussie grain growers
WA is investing in research to protect yields and strengthen farming systems. We’re leading WA’s role in a national project with @GRDCWest

🎬 NEW VIDEO
#Rhizoctonia is a soil borne disease that has a huge impact for Australian farmers, particularly in the low and medium rainfall zones. In this video, @DHuberli and Dr Ahmed Saad from @DPIRDbroadacre and grower @mark_paganoni discuss on-farm impact and management research upderway.

🌾 Get ready for the Narembeen Field Walk on Sept 11! 🌱
There will be insightful presentations from @DPIRDbroadacre's very own Ahmed Saad, farmer Jake Cole, and a UAV flight and discussion with Veronika Crouch of @CFIG_AG. 🌱
Contact @CFIG_AG for details.

Two reasons to invest on a soil penetrometer with an automated inserter?
1) To get constant insertion velocity (a must)
2) Adoptability to hard soils not much limited by strength and weight of operator (Hura !!)

#RhizoLMRZ project with @DPIRDbroadacre and @theGRDC is in Protecting WA Crops Issue 31, July 2023 agric.wa.gov.au/n/9959. Learn about the project and new staff member #ProtectingWACrops
Our first plant emergence counts for this year in the new Rhizoctonia @MADFIG14 demo trial looking at sowing depths at east Merredin as part of the national #RhizoLMRZ project with @DPIRDbroadacre and @theGRDC. How will Rhizo behave in the different depths? #ProtectingWACrops
