CCDM

The Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM), with investment and co-support from Curtin and GRDC, reduces the impact of crop disease for Aussie growers.

🌾🔬 Yesterday, students from WA College of Agriculture – Harvey visited CCDM to hear from our scientists, tour the Centre and field trial areas, and learn how research is helping protect Australia's grain industry.

Thanks for visiting! 🌱

🌾📊 Shaping the future of data-driven farming.
CCDM brought researchers, industry and tech partners together at Pawsey for an Agri Analytics Hub co-design workshop led by Julia Easton, helping develop better tools for on-farm decision-making.

Recent rainfall across WA has favoured barley net blotch development. Spot-form net blotch detected near Northam and Wongan Hills and net-form net blotch observed at Tenterden, Kendenup and South Stirling. #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest

Early signs of reduced fungicide performance in barley loose smut have been detected in key grain growing regions across Australia. While there's no cause for alarm, growers are reminded to remain proactive in disease management ▶️ https://t.co/bmbzmnq9ul

🔬 CCDM researchers have detected a genetic change in barley loose smut linked to reduced sensitivity to Group 7 (SDHI) fungicides.
👉 Advice for growers: Not field failure, but an early shift.

Barley leaf spotting is tricky to diagnose because physiological stress, herbicide damage & fungal diseases can look very similar. Correct ID matters to allow appropriate management & avoid unnecessary fungicide use. Learn more in #PestFactsWA. @GRDCWest https://t.co/BaZMDXZYir
