    DAV00144 - Cereal and Pulse cultivar resistance ratings for the Southern region
    In many Australian cropping soils the presence of nematodes limits field crop production. Since yield loss caused by nematodes is related to the density of nematodes in a paddock and the tolerance/intolerance of the crop, growers can minimise yield…
