It's that time of year again for the broadacre disease training course, 2 days of jam packed information. @DPIRDbroadacre, @DPIRD,

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

@laura_boykin Congratulations Laura. What wonderful news.

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

@WMG_WA Very disappointing. Was looking forward to it.

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

@Julianne_Hill @GeorgieTroup Congratulations!!

@KSU_CropDoc @MADFIG14 @GRDCWest @GGA_WA @DPIRDbroadacre Haha, Doug. That's the olive oil that cooked the bacon and egg rolls we had for breakfast - yum!!

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

First growers workshop of the season on root diseases MADFIG. @MADFIG14 , @GRDCWest, @GGA_WA, @DPIRDbroadacre

Sclerotia in a depot at the DPIRD Esperance Downs Research Station (Gibson) have just started to germinate in late May and produce apothecia. This finding is a warning that the Sclerotinia disease cycle is starting in the Esperance area. #PestFax @GRDCWest https://t.co/3jeK5cJgey

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

Craig Webster talking about controlling TSWV which was widespread through crops in Carnarvon in 2020.

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

Continuing from last night, VegesWA and @DPIRDWA we are now in Carnarvon. @profspaff talking about fall army worm in Carnarvon.

[Monica Kehoe @monica_kehoe]

Last up is a qfly update from @cuzzo4x4 on the recent detections and how we are eradicating this pest - a huge effort, absolutely worthwhile (and necessary) to protect market access for our growers @DPIRDWA

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

@monica_kehoe @Hort_Au @DPIRDWA Thank you Monica 😊

[Monica Kehoe @monica_kehoe]

@traininggrowers is sharing the bacterial work update for the @Hort_Au funded area wide management of viruses and bacteria in veggies project.

A friendly reminder about the importance of clean tomato seed and farm hygiene to manage bacterial canker in tomato too! @DPIRDWA

[Monica Kehoe @monica_kehoe]

Great to hear from @profspaff this evening on Fall Army Worm ID and management as part of the @WAVegies workshop in Wanneroo tonight. We also got some great info on leaf miners which can also have huge impacts on crops
@DPIRDWA

New agronomists learning about diseases in broadacre crops. @DPIRDWA @DPIRDbroadacre

@KennellyMegan @KSUPlantDr @lmehra @1DEcook @KSUWheatDoc @DylanMangel @bmbetzen Going ok. Like you adjusting to the new normal and trying to keep my team together although we are split between home and work. 😁

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

@KennellyMegan @KSUPlantDr @lmehra @1DEcook @KSUWheatDoc @DylanMangel @bmbetzen Hi Megan. How are you? Long time no see. D

[Dominie Wright @traininggrowers]

@laura_boykin Good Luck Laura. Wishing you all the best in your new venture.

Cane toads get attention, but a quieter invasive killer is wreaking havoc on Australia's native trees https://t.co/00TphJ88Kf

[CCDM @theCCDM]

Productive day @theCCDM-organised national Fungicide Resistance Workshop in Melbourne. Great discussions and an agreed path forward for clear simple messages about how #fungicide resistance can be managed in Australian crops. @theGRDC @MarkGibberd #protectingourcrops
