They found that dsRNA, applied preventatively or curatively, inhibits myrtle rust disease and improves plant growth and recovery following severe infections. These findings have immediate potential in the management of the more than 10-year epidemic of myrtle rust in Australia.

Prof Kathy Evans is working with Tassie wine grape growers to give them site-specific answers about botrytis.

Growers will select which botrytis management practices to test on their vineyards with expert guidance from the project team. Find out more: https://t.co/2rQ65enoKl
