This PhD project will look to develop multi-scale (regional to paddock scale) monitoring methods for canola pests and beneficials, both pre-season and during season. The results will allow for improved risk analysis and decision making for integrated pest management by farmers and agronomists, avoiding over-use of insecticides.

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...
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...
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,...
