This project will investigate the effectiveness of existing and emerging wheat powdery mildew (WPM) control options across a range of varieties with diverse susceptibility ratings for growers and agronomists affected by powdery mildew in SA. It will investigate the agronomic efficacy and economic effectiveness of control options in each wheat variety to create new information on emerging powdery mildew. The project will also extend existing knowledge from current WPM SAGIT projects and newly generated findings to growers.

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...
