Disease identification and management workshop – Griffith
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).
