CCDM hosted the AAGI/GGA Experimental Design Workshop! Led by Adam Sparks, Barbara Kachigunda & Rose Megirian, it equipped grower groups with skills in: ✅ Data organization ✅ Trial design & protocols ✅ Managing outliers ✅ Planning field trials @theGRDC @CurtinUni

🌿 CCDM is at the Stromlo Plant Pathology Conference 2025! 🌍🔬 Our researchers are sharing cutting-edge work on crop disease management at ANU. 📅 27–28 Nov 🗣 Talks on transposons, RNA interference, fungicide dynamics & more. 🔗 https://t.co/zW2Xgvktpn @theGRDC @CurtinUni

Pigeonpea is emerging as a hardy dryland summer pulse for Qld. GRDC trials show quick-maturing lines yielding 1.2–1.5 t/ha, ideal harvest height & strong system benefits (N fixation, rotation options). Key risk: insect pressure at flowering. Read the full research summary:

🌱 Stronger Lentils Ahead! Breeders now have new markers for developing lentil varieties with improved Ascochyta blight resistance. CCDM researchers have mapped the genetic regions that help lentils fight off this pathogen. 📖 https://t.co/WlrjoQWV0W #theGRDC #CurtinUni

Congratulations to @JamesKHane & @drjuliaeaston - now Associate Professors! James builds bioinformatics power to fight crop disease. Julia leads C4AP for farm profitability & sustainability. CCDM is proud to foster talent & advance agriculture! 🌱 @GRDC, @Curtinuni
