Research project

Surveys and associated diagnostics of the incidence and severity of diseases of cereals and pulses within the southern region (Victoria).

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This project will capture data to establish the current prevalence and severity of diseases of cereals and pulses in the GRDC's southern region. Structured surveys will provide detailed information on disease prevalence and severity, while less structured paddock inspections and interactions with industry will provide additional information. The implementation of...

Surveys and associated diagnostics of the incidence and severity of diseases of cereals and pulses within the northern region

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This project aims to enhance partnerships with industry and state and federal agencies to provide disease surveillance and related diagnostic capacity in major production areas of the GRDC's northern region. In-paddock disease surveillance will provide quantitative and longitudinal data on disease incidence and severity. This will assist in informing disease...

Surveys and associated diagnostics of the incidence and severity of diseases of cereals, pulses and oilseeds in the western region

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Random stratified surveys will be conducted across the GRDC's western region recording the incidence and severity of the established and emerging diseases of cereals, oilseeds and pulses and provide proof of area freedom for HPP exotic disease.

Distribution of ramularia across the Australian grain belt

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Ramularia leaf spot (RLS) caused by Ramularia collo-cygni is a barley disease found in most areas of the world and recently confirmed to be present in Western Australia and Tasmania. Disease spreads aerially by spores within a season while internally infected seed also plays a role in its distribution. This...

Prevention and preparedness for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) - Output 2

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a significant global biosecurity threat because of its ability to spread rapidly within and between countries. It is a typical transboundary pest species that cannot easily be contained by individual country quarantine restrictions. In Australia, as elsewhere, the characterisation of FAW, including clarification of...

Prevention and preparedness for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The recent establishment of the fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda) in Australia has created a need for an Australian perspective on potential research activities that will increase the ability of the grains industry to manage this pest. This project will review a broad range of international information resulting in an...

Identifying a machine learning approach to weed recognition in Australian grain production systems

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The project will create an open source weed image library to make weed recognition data freely available to the weed control industry. This will provide a path to market for weed recognition technologies that can make use of the database. The project will determine best database structure for facilitating weed...

Machine learning to extract maximum value from soil and crop variability

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The yields of major crops in Australia are often below their water-limited potential. A reason for this is the complexity of Genotype x Environment x Management (GxExM) interaction, which results in crop growth with high variability. This project aims to use machine learning to undertake a more detailed analysis of...
