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

Keep an eye on your lentil crops for Aschochyta blight (AB) infection @GRDCSouth @SA_PIRSA @CropWatchSA

Great to have the Crop Circle team maintain our chickpea - BGM trial in Greenouch! We will keep you posted on the results!

At @Griffith_Uni, we're tackling Ascochyta blight with @theGRDC funding. Please support our research by providing infected chickpea samples! Contact us for a sampling kit & help us advancing chickpea resilience to develop stronger varieties. Check the flyer for more info:

Make sure to add this week's CCDM talk to your calendar 📆 If you're on @CurtinUni campus Friday 8 August, come hear from CCDM's Grace Foley as she explores effector discovery in Parastagonospora avenae and their roles in Septoria avenae blotch of oat🌾🦠

🌾 Tackling Sclerotinia stem rot in canola — with red rice! 🍚 CCDM researchers have developed a reliable field method to screen for SSR resistance using red rice inoculum. 🌱💡With promising lines identified for breeding. 📖 https://t.co/z7CYB09dJi @theGRDC @CurtinUni

From veggie patch to pulse pathology 🧬 A/Prof Lars Kamphuis (@CurtinUni / @theCCDM) is building disease resilience in key crops like lupins, canola and lentils, right here in WA. 🔬🌱 Read now: https://t.co/rFBJotJ4F2 #AgScience #WAARC #WAAgScientist Spotlight

Congrats to Curtin PhD student Nimllash Thangam, a national finalist in #FameLab Australia 2025! He’s using science storytelling to fight crop disease and promote sustainable farming. National final's on 18 Sept at @wamuseum! #ScienceCommunication #SustainableFarming

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

Sclerotinia apothecia have been seen in Northam since late June and now being found in Kendenup, check PestFacts WA issue below for managing the disease in flowering canola, lupin and other pulse crops

Student spotlight🌾 Thomas Hill is a PhD student investigating how the gene Cyc8 affects the growth of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, to find new, eco-friendly ways to control this disease. 🧬🌱 Check out his poster at the upcoming @ISMPMI Congress 💬 @theGRDC @CurtinUni @arc_gov_au

🚜 Calling all WA farmers and allied industry professionals! Help us build a tool to measure farming business resilience! CCDM is developing a model to assess how farms adapt & grow through tough times. 💬 Take a 15-min survey to shape this practical tool: https://t.co/YA5AaFHjfK
