If you are seeing symptoms of upper canopy infection, here is a short clip about making spray decisions for controlling it.

Discussing the many benefits of the GRDC investments into the blackleg monitoring sites with our program manager, Friday Obanor. Plenty of blackleg on show, especially upper canopy infection #grdc #blackleg

Saw same symptoms at Lake Bolac yesterday. We will have yield data from +/- fungicide split plots.

A quick update on the progression of blackleg upper canopy infection. The symptoms we are seeing at Lake Bolac suggest our recommendations were on point and the season is progressing as expected.

The Crop Pathology Field Day in Horsham is your opportunity to ask questions on cereal, canola and pulses diseases, including virus & fungal diseases. The day will run from 8.15am to 1pm on Tuesday 8 October. Registrations required for catering purposes: buff.ly/2mzh1py

The 2019 spring blackleg management guide is now available at grdc.com.au/GRDC-FS-Blackl… Check it out for all variety information regarding blackleg.

The 2019 fungicide resistance results are in for the 208 stubble samples screened. Similar findings to 2018 with resistance detected only for the DMI fungicides. Individual results will be sent this week to those who submitted samples.

Canola harvest is well underway. If anyone left untreated strips after applying fungicides at 30% bloom for controlling upper canopy infection, we would love to know what yield returns the fungicides gave.

Started together at Minnipa 26 years ago. Still living.....the dream.

Steve will be at the GRDC updates at Wagga Wagga. Come here about the latest blackleg control strategies at 2pm Wednesday 19th Feb.

We will be repeating the fungicide resistance screens in 2020. This free service allows you to test your fungal population for resistance to all current fungicides used to control blackleg. Please go to marcroftgrainspathology.com/index.php/2020… to download the protocol/submission form.

Green bridge full of #aphids and #viruses (Turnip yellows virus) in Victoria, important to avoid sowing canola and pulse crops if green bride is not under control

Blackleg, white leaf spot and downy mildew all starting to appear in the Western District GRDC disease monitoring sites.

An example of severe blackleg infection on untreated MS cultivar at Lake Bolac. More resistant cultivars holding up well.

On Friday 10th July @ 2pm EST we will be presenting a webinar on the current season, potential use of fungicides and current status of fungicide resistance in Australia. Click on the link to register. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

First blackleg flower infection that I've seen this season. If your crop is flowering early and has infection, consider fungicide at 30% bloom.

Blackleg in the Wimmera is developing on leaves, but it is too late to cause severe crown canker. The risk of Upper Canopy at the moment is lower in the Wimmera due to later flowering.

Blackleg in South West Vic is now severe on leaves and first flowers. If your crop has severe leaf lesions and is commencing flowering it may be at risk of Upper Canopy Blackleg yield loss. Later flowering crops will have much lower risk.

Since no one can come to us to see what we are up to, we have put together the below video highlighting some of our GRDC experiments we have going on. GRDC project updates - August 2021 youtu.be/5jd19Il2Cyc via YouTube
