Barley net form net blotch (NFNB) is a significant disease constraint in SA, with increasing complexity in disease management due to variable varietal resistance and fungicide resistance issues. This project aims to generate locally relevant evidence to support sustainable NFNB management particularly in the South- East of SA by integrating field-based evaluation of fungicide strategies, resistance monitoring and extension to growers and advisors. This project is a co-investment, with GRDC providing 50% of the total funding.

The goal of this project is to develop next-generation rhizobial inoculation systems for lentils by integrating advanced seed-coating technologies with climate-adapted plant growth-promoting bacteria. The project aims to deliver pre-inoculated, ready-to-sow lentil...
This project will evaluate the performance, stability, and nitrogen-use efficiency benefits of the previously selected high-performing plant growth-promoting bacterial strains across cropping environments relevant to SA growers. It will translate the results towards...
Herbicide residues such as those of imidazolinones (IMI) products are of increasing concern to growers. However, predictive tests to assess the potential toxicity of herbicide residues to crops are not currently available. This project will establish and validate a...
