$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

@DPIRDbroadacre, with @theGRDC and national collaborators, is leading Research Area 3 (Integrated Management) of the Soilborne Disease Initiative—tackling Sclerotinia, Rhizoctonia, crown rot and root lesion nematodes with integrated, economic solutions for WA growers. #SBDIP3

[GRDC @theGRDC]

GRDC has launched a 5-year national Soil-Borne Disease Initiative, announced by Chair Sharon Starick at the Adelaide Grains Research Update.

The program coordinates research nationwide to improve soil-borne disease management for growers.

🎬 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.

[Daniel Huberli @DHuberli]

With @theGRDC investment, @DPIRDbroadacre, @CSIRO, & @SA_PIRSA are developing cost-effective strategies to help growers manage rhizoctonia. Watch @DHuberli & @Ah_Saad2 discuss the project, while grower Mark Paganoni shares the disease's impact on his farm. https://t.co/9ytTXqfdY6

Listen to @theGRDC Podcast where Daniel Huberli @dhuberli from @DPIRDbroadacre explains the integrated and cost-effective approach of cultural, chemical and biological management strategies for Rhizoctonia that the #RhizoLMRZ research team is creating https://t.co/GsX0sx9h2Q

[Ahmed Saad @Ah_Saad2]

Great crowd at Narembeen field walk today. #RhizoLMRZ project with @DPIRDbroadacre , @DHuberli , Veronika Crouch @CFIG_AG and farmer Jake Cole.

[DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock @DPIRDbroadacre]

🌾 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 !!)

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

[Daniel Huberli @DHuberli]

Two paddocks in Hyden, Holt Rock Group, and Corrigin, @CFIG_AG, were sampled by @DPIRDbroadacre for testing for Rhizoctonia DNA, catabolic diversity & nutrients from 150 GPS points per site for national @theGRDC #RhizoLMRZ project. Now we check for patches. #ProtectingWACrops

@LifeInSoil5 @GRDCSouth Looks like a successful trip. So 3 cores of 4-5cm diameter at each spot?

[Daniel Huberli @DHuberli]

@LifeInSoil5 @GRDCSouth Gupta you’ll have let me in on any tips. We are doing same next week here in WA!

[Daniel Huberli @DHuberli]

@Bec_Swift_ @CFIG_AG @DPIRDbroadacre @theGRDC Yes @Bec_Swift_ And a new research officer 😀
