Fungicide resistance is now a major threat to grain production in SA. Of particular concern are triple-fungicide resistant net form net blotch (NFNB) strains confirmed in SA, with resistance across all three major fungicide groups. These developments undermine...

Summary
This project aims to explore if new canola technology allows it to be a more reliable and viable break crop option in the Upper North agricultural zone. The project will assess the profitability of different canola agronomy packages in local validation trials (GM vs open pollinated TT) against wheat over a three-year period.

Barley net blotch fungicide resistance management in the South-East (SAR5426)
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...
Identifying and managing potassium deficiency on Lower Eyre Peninsula (SAR4926)
Farmers on lower Eyre Peninsula (LEP) are starting to experience potassium deficiency, with a recent trial demonstrating potential large yield responses. This project will examine a range of PA tools and historical methods to help define where potassium is an issue,...
