GRDC Grains Research Update, online – Cereal disease and subsoil – SNSW

Summary

The program from the February/March 2022 GRDC Grains Research Updates has moved online. While we and many participants lament not being able to run these events face to face, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to cherry pick  topics of interest to you not only from your area, but from the broader northern region.

Topics for this webinar:

• Subsoil management to improve crop productivity in dryland cropping: Linking changes in PAW and root responses to sub soil amendments. Varietal differences and novel new ameliorants. (Ehsan Tavakkoli, NSW DPI)
• Stripe rust outbreaks in 2021 - what did we learn that’s helpful to planning for 2022? (Robert Park, University of Sydney)
• Cereal disease issues for 2022. What did we learn in 2021 and how can we use this to improve management this season? (Brad Baxter, NSW DPI)
• Fusarium crown rot in southern farming systems - how big an issue is it? (Steve Simpfendorfer, NSW DPI)
  - Harvest height implications  
  - Integrated management
  - Potential fit of Victrato^® seed treatment
