Small group workshops on identification and management of diseases in broadacre crops

Agronomists and grain growers are invited to participate in a 2-day GRDC supported workshop on identifying and managing soil and foliar diseases of cereal and other field crops.

Which disease is it? Is it physiological spotting or something else? (Over 20% of suspected diseased cereal samples sent to NSW DPIRD pathologists in 2024 were NOT diseases!) Is it economic to spray and if yes, with what and when? Could I have avoided the problem through management? These are just some of the issues and questions that will be answered in the GRDC Disease Identification & Management Workshops.
