Impact of root diseases on pulse crops in Northern and Southern regions
Tender ID: 486784
Tender Details
Tender Description
The expansion and intensification of high value pulses in Australia will drive the increased profitability of the Australian grains industry. However, this expansion is threatened by the increasing awareness, by industry, that although often grown as a disease break crop themselves, pulse crops are significantly constrained by soilborne root diseases. In the Southern Region alone, yield losses of ~20, 20, and 30% in the low, medium, and high rainfall zones, respectively, have been reported due to root diseases in a Grower Advisers’ survey (SARDI, 2019). Growers across the Northern and Southern regions are increasingly reporting patches in pulse crops due to soilborne diseases.
