Our #Eutypella paper is now out and freely available on March 8th 🥳 Let’s celebrate with two amazing female authors @aphrika_gregson & Anna Madden. We believe it occurred independently from a detection event in Qld, so worth checking.

For those who have never seen these growing wild, here is what a patch of Sturt desert peas looks like. I found several more patches today at Wirraminna.

Link to latest publication from @DuyLe15069637’s lab. First report of #Colletotrichum truncatum causing #cotton boll rot. We’re very proud of this work, thank-you to funding body @CottonResearch

[Duy Le @DuyLe15069637]

🔵Boll rot caused by aprox 170 bacteria & fungi, sporadic yet important. Favored by mild, wet year, potentially again, so high risk for rot again
🔵We @aphrika_gregson for 1st time fully ID Colletotrichum truncatum among many yet to be ID https://t.co/BvScogYWZd

@Judy_Dunlop @Blake_D_Palmer Aw yeah!

How cool is this? My wife made a #soil coring tractor topper for our #wedding cake - including an oreo based #vertosol

I'm not sure what this says about me, but whatever it is my passion for soil science and #agriculture is very clearly supported at home!

Exciting and rewarding work I’m involved in at the DPI, Orange with @KevinDodds3: developing the Australian cider industry through the maintenance of an Australian cider apple ‘library’, and provision of bud wood to producers #cider #pome

[Xanthe Gregory @xanthe_gregory]

Orange is now home to one of Australia's largest cider apple collections. @ABCRural https://t.co/TAsfwTsoON

You never know what you might come across when looking for owls in a Brisbane park. I'm assuming from the length of the prey's tail that this Kookaburra has caught itself a non-native Ship Rat?
