Accelerating Genetic Gain 📈 GRDC is seeking co-investment for $20m targeted R&D investment to deliver a step change in genetic gain of Aust grain crops. Phase 1 includes a survey for national & international breeders and researchers, closing 11 Oct ▶️ https://t.co/0e9tqwK6Mh

NEW PODCAST 🎙️ in the latest GRDC podcast episode, Kurt Lindbeck from @nswdpi discusses the challenges and strategies for managing diseases in canola and pulses within the northern (Queensland and northern New South Wales) region: https://t.co/WLp5sYrwmT

Today the Victorian Minister for Ag @GayleTierney & GRDC Board chair John Woods announced a $30M co-investment between to support the Australian Grains Genebank to help fast-track the development of new crop varieties for grain growers. 👉 https://t.co/hx3kUBCQdj 📷 @VicGovAg

Last three years while we have been focused on the high rainfall and disease pressure photothermal quotient has been a limiting factor in the background 😳⛱🌾 #GRDCUpdates

Every drop in the ocean counts…a small wet market noodle seller is one of those drops that determines how Australia classifies its wheat to meet the market demand 😃🌾🌾 #GRDCUpdates Bendigo

What’s happening? Snail 🐌 covered plants… just another gift of another year of La Niña
