Sclerotinia stem rot is commencing in canola crops. Photos show infection moving from lower leaf on ground to stem. Use SclerotiniaCM for making economic spray decisions: to spray or not, best timing & which crops to prioritise as yield potentials vary this year DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock
We have detected high levels of turnip yellows virus in diseased canola crops in the Geraldton region. Green peach aphid, the vector, was first found in early July and conditions have proven conducive forTuYV spread. Images - Peter Norris. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC West GRDC
Impressive Lupin crop canopies in Geraldton port zone = Sclerotinia risk if paddock has history. Our research has found fungicide can give a significant yield response if thereβs a wet spring. Apply at early pod emergence on main spike β¦β¦DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestockβ©β¦GRDC Westβ©
Are you going to OATSPO? Hamid & I will be there. Hamid will chat about our DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock study funded by POP, unlocking the yield vault of oats.
