The Good, The Bad, & The Fungi: A look at Soil Pathogens

The Good, The Bad and the Fungi: A Look at Soil Pathogens

This episode takes a closer look at the microscopic world of soil pathogens with Dr Dominie Wright, Senior Laboratory Scientist in DDLS and leader of the DPIRD plant diagnostic group. 

Dominie joins WMG EO Dr Nathan Craig and WMG Mixed Farming Systems Officer Melanie Dixon to discuss how growers can better identify and manage soil pathogens (known more commonly as root diseases) on their property. This conversation is supported by the key findings of the recently completed WMG project "Soilborne Pathogen Identification and Management Strategies for Winter Cereals". The project gave a local perspective on the effectiveness of current break crop control options.

This project was made possible with support from @GGA_WA
 and @DPIRDWA, and is a @theGRDC
 investment.
