Post-doctoral Fellowship: A Model for Predicting Chickpea Ascochyta Blight Risk
Ascochyta blight, caused by the fungus Ascochyta (Phoma) rabiei, is one of the most devastating diseases of chickpea worldwide; and is the main disease that constrains chickpea production in Australia. The severity of ascochyta blight is mainly…- Project start date:

Optimising profitability of high rainfall zone farming systems-survey, farmer-scale demonstration trials and field days
Stirlings to Coast Farmers (SCF) believe it is possible to gather at least 30 HRZ farmers from the Albany Port Zone (APZ) to participate in the grower surveys. This will ensure the information gathered is more robust than the minimum of 20 growers…- Project start date:

Increased grower profitability on soils with sodicity and transient salinity in the eastern grain belt of the Western Region.
Interacting combinations of sodicity and transient salinity, often associated with high subsoil pH, ion toxicities and poor subsoil structure, interact to constrain crop yields by reducing water extraction by crop roots. In the Western Region,…- Project start date:
