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 fungicide efficacy and increase production risk. This SAGIT project will support a coordinated SA surveillance program to enable early detection, avoid ineffective sprays, limit further resistance development and yield loss.

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...
