Advancing techniques for diagnosis of yellow canopy syndrome
This project will engage a PhD student to investigate potential causal agents of yellow canopy syndrome of sugarcane and examine foliar changes during YCS symptom expression, focusing on:
- The in-field epidemiology and dynamics of both yellow canopy syndrome and likely causal agents at species level
- Development of a molecular diagnostic approach to characterise the insect species likely to be involved as causal agents
- Rapid in-field diagnostics for the causal agent and/or CS symptom expression
