Description

Which disease is it? Is it physiological spotting or something else? (Over 20% of suspected diseased cereal samples sent to NSW DPIRD pathologists in 2024 were NOT diseases!) Is it economic to spray and if yes, with what and when? Could I have avoided the problem through management? These are just some of the issues and questions that will be answered in the GRDC Disease Identification & Management Workshops.

Agronomists and grain growers are invited to participate in a 2-day GRDC supported workshop on identifying and managing soil and foliar diseases of cereal and other field crops. Book in early, as these workshops are limited in numbers. Cost is $165 (GST inclusive).

Day 1: From 9 am to 5:30 pm | Day 2: From 8:30 am to 3 pm
Morning/afternoon tea/lunch, course notes and identification resources included.

1. Foliar diseases
