Fumigation timing, ventilation, withholding periods and storage hygiene can all make a difference to how well grain performs in storage.
In the latest GRDC podcast, Ben White and Chris Warrick from the GRDC Grain Storage Extension Team share practical advice on managing stored grain insects, reducing resistance risks and using diatomaceous earth effectively.

🌧️ A high-pressure blackleg season in 2026 has reinforced the need to match fungicide use to disease risk.
For growers heading into 2027, key lessons include monitoring crown canker, changing varieties where disease levels are moderate to high, avoiding canola-on-canola and rotating fungicide modes of action.
Advice from the University of Melbourne and Marcroft Grains Pathology is helping refine management through the GRDC Disease Management Extension Network.

🌾 A good rust sample can help get useful information back to growers sooner.
Samples with enough rust can move directly onto differential lines, with results potentially available in around three weeks. Samples with very little rust may take closer to six weeks.
Earlier results can support more informed rust management decisions.
