@theCCDM Lupin and canola Sclerotinia team at 21st Australian Agronomy Conference #Agronomy24. First time presenting for @rach02822245 and @Ashmita_Lam. Excellent job highlighting some of our research @CurtinEandA

And that’s a wrap for the @theCCDM canola and lupin Sclerotinia management team field trials at Northam. Final screening following rice inoculation on both crops completed. Now to analyse the data. Always fun 😊 @rach02822245 @Ashmita_Lam @theGRDC @CuongVHan

Into the field on our new @COGGO_WA funded co-infection project in canola. Blackleg isolates and Sclerotinia sclerotia collected in the same paddock. So exciting to get started on a long-awaited project and with Honours for @s_eejay embedded @theCCDM @Living_Farm

Reproducibility, reliability and consistency search continues. Sclerotinia infection in canola developing nicely across all 3 infection modes, but look different in each. Results will help to determine future screening @theCCDM @rach02822245 @Ashmita_Lam

Pleased to share Technology of the Month in @Plant_Pathogens, describing our newly developed noncontact #method that enables consistent infection of basal stem with #Sclerotinia sclerotiorum through soil inoculation @theCCDM Pippa M @rach02822245 @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @CurtinEandA

Slow Mo alert! 🎥 Check out this video of Sclerotinia apothecia releasing ascospores into the air 💨 This year our researchers are using the plates to produce inoculum to screen canola and lupin varieties for Sclerotinia resistance 🌿 @rach02822245 @SJB_Ag

Today marks International Day of Women and Girls in Science where we recognize the pivotal role of women and girls' perspectives in STEM 👩‍🔬 👩‍🌾 👩‍💻 CCDM is proud to have women make up over half of our centre's staff! Here's to all the #womeninagriculture and #womeninscience 🧪
