We're looking to improve N fixation in pulse crops to help grain growers increase crop productivity & reduce reliance on N fertiliser. Focusing on developing superior N-fixing bacteria (rhizobia) strains for chickpea & reviewing the opportunity for improvement in mungbean.

#Striperust thrives in cool, moist conditions with temperatures between 10°C and 15°C and prolonged leaf wetness from dew or rain. These disease favoring conditions have been ideal at #Cobbitty this year and our #disease screening nurseries @PbiCobbitty are thriving.

Optimal time for nodulation checks is 10-12 weeks after emergence. Though, it has been extra cold and wet for many. Just the annual reminder about the 4C’s when checking legume nodulation (Collect, Clean, Count, Calculate).
