📸🐄 FARMING FAILS PHOTO COMPETITION! 🐑🚜 We all know farming doesn’t always go to plan… so let’s have a laugh about it! 😅 How to enter: 1️⃣ Share your photo on social media and tag @AgVocateWA 2️⃣ Use the hashtag #AgVocateWAFarmingFails 3️⃣ Add a short caption!

Do we need to reassess how disease resistance ratings on crops are determined? 🤔 Our @theCCDM preprint revealed co-infection of wheat by P. nodorum & P. tritici-repentis breaks down resistance BUT there is a CAVEAT @agtbreeding @DPIRDbroadacre @UniBonn https://t.co/Z0g659F6OP

A great afternoon with 3rd Agribusiness students from @CurtinUni at the @WaddiPark farm at Bolgart. Felt great vibe and enthusiasm in this future work force of WA farming. Our reengineering trial there is showing awesome response to a lupin crop. @GRDCWest @DPIRDbroadacre

Student spotlight🌾 Nimllash Thangam is a PhD student working to develop durable resistance in lentil to Ascochyta lentis, using breeding and molecular tools like effector protein analysis 🧬 Catch him at the @FameLab Australia Finals https://t.co/fvFghDXahF @theGRDC @CurtinUni

Is there any resistance to Sclerotinia in a diverse screen of narrow leaf lupin germplasm - stem inoculation at Curtin progressing nicely with all hands on deck required, field inoculation still to take place @theCCDM @WAAgCollab @rach02822245 @lars_kamphuis

The Australian Agronomy Conference goes to Darwin next year. Call for abstracts is now open

🌿 Save the Date! The 2026 Australian Agronomy Conference heads to Darwin 1-4 June🌞For the first time EVER in the NT, we’ll explore “Agronomy for a Diverse Future” with field trips, top speakers & tropical innovation.👉 https://t.co/L5ULZwtmdy @CDUni @theGRDC @GRDCNorth

Pippa Michael presenting our work at #BotryScleroMono on developing a robust screening method for reproducible Sclerotinia infection in canola and lupins. Watch this space for the publication which has just been accepted in Plant Disease @theCCDM @theGRDC

Following an excellent presentation by @LandbouLisa on disease modelling in Sclerotinia at #BotryScleroMono, it was great to be able to present our work on simulating SSR in canola in the field to estimate yield loss and when it is economical to spray @theCCDM @theGRDC

Well done to my PhD student @CuongVHan presenting a summary of his work on the impact of the soil microbiome on persistence of sclerotia of Sclerotinia at #BotryScleroMono, Thessaloniki, Greece @theCCDM

Looking forward to being able to share our work on simulating yield loss from Sclerotinia in canola

🦠🌱 The National Pulse Pathology Workshop is coming to Perth as part of #IFLRC8 & #APC5 this September! Join pulse pathologists & researchers from across Australia to share seasonal updates, key findings & the latest in pulse disease research. 🔗 https://t.co/SgAXhjzGiN

🎉 Happy 11th Birthday to CCDM 🎉 A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey, including our researchers, students, industry partners, and the agriculture community. Here’s to another year of breakthroughs, partnerships, and progress🌾 🌿 👋 @theGRDC @CurtinUni

Did you know that the IFLRC/APC conference Abstract submissions are now open and close the 11th of April? The conference organisers look forward to receiving your submissions!

Interested in improving resilience to frost in wheat? 🌾❄️ Two exciting @Gulbali_Inst PhD opportunities @CharlesSturtUni are currently available within national @theGRDC projects in collaboration with @CSIRO @DPIRDWA @SA_PIRSA . More information: https://t.co/ukZWuGOUNX

In the wake of #IWD2025, we’re highlighting incredible women at CCDM! 👩‍🔬🌾 Meet Dr. Irina Kuznetsova, a bioinformatics expert on the AAGI project using her skills in data analysis and genomics to enhance crop resilience and sustainable agriculture. 🌱🔬

Great job to our CCDM students who just finished presenting at the #GRDCUpdates New Researchers session 👏 Be sure to find them during the updates to ask any burning questions you have on their intriguing research @theGRDC @GRDCWest @CurtinUni @CuongVHan @Anzaana1 @MohitulHossain

Have you said hi to any of our researchers at #GRDCUpdates at Perth 👋 Plenty of our staff and students will be wandering around over the two day event, ready to chat about all things crop disease 🌱🦠 Don’t miss our stall at the back of the exhibition hall 🚜 @theGRDC @CurtinUni

🎫 The #GRDCUpdates Perth 2025 are right around the corner! Catch Leon Hodgson presenting on geospatial mapping of resistance to fungicides; informing disease management practice 👩‍💻 📅 Tue 25 Feb |🕑 11:45am |📍Session 14 👉 https://t.co/cQazxfvDqm @theGRDC @ngis_australia #AAGI
