Abstract The fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects rising levels greenhouse gas and global temperature. well-known dependence plant diseases weather has long been exploited for predicting epidemics to time applications control measures tactical disease management. Fingerprints inter-annual climatic variation pathogens have recently shown in literature linking pathogen abundance atmospheric composition. Past reviews dealt with impacts changing...
Abstract Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration is increasingly affecting food production but how plant diseases will influence and quality of under rising CO not well understood. With increased biomass at high the stubble‐borne fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum causing crown rot (CR) wheat may become more severe. We have studied inoculum by using per unit stubble, stem browning from CR saprophytic fitness strains isolated two varieties grown in 2007 2008 ambient...
Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is transmitted by aphids and significantly reduces the yield quality of cereals worldwide. Four experiments investigating effects barley virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV) infection on either wheat or were conducted over three years (2015, 2017, 2018) under typical field conditions in South-Eastern Australia. Plants inoculated with BYDV-PAV using viruliferous (Rhopalosiphum padi) harvested at maturity then grain components measured. Compared to non-inoculated control,...
In southeastern Australia, Fusarium crown rot, caused by culmorum or F. pseudograminearum, is an increasingly important disease of cereals. Because in-crop control options are limited, it for growers to know prior planting which fields at risk yield loss from rot. Understanding the relationships between rot inoculum and would assist in assessing planting. Thirty-five data sets management experiments conducted states South Australia Victoria during years 2005 2010 were examined. Relationships...
A collection of 253 synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHWs) produced from 192 Aegilops tauschii accessions and 39 elite durum varieties were studied to identify, characterise, evaluate potentially untapped diversity disease resistance in wheat. The diseases for which was sought included cereal cyst nematode (CCN), root lesion (RLN), Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB), Septoria tritici (STB), the 3 rusts, leaf rust, stem stripe all important bread wheat worldwide, can severely reduce yield quality....
Fundamental changes in farming systems occurred throughout the medium-rainfall zone of southern Australia during late 1990s. Pulse and canola crops replaced pastures long-fallowing, minimal-tillage practices were increasingly adopted. An experiment was established 1998 to examine long-term effects these on crop productivity soil fertility. Nine rotation–tillage treatments based 3- 6-year cycles compared by using wheat (Triticum aestivum) as a bioassay over 2001–17. Seasonal conditions study...
International production of chickpea is under constant threat from the fungal disease Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei). In Australia, there limited cultivar resistance, and management reliant on foliar applied fungicides. Several recently registered fungicides in Australia that combine active ingredients with different modes actions, have been shown to curative properties. this study, presence blight, severity, grain yield quality were measured subsequent gross margin for growers...
Yellow dwarf viruses (YDVs) form a complex of economically important pathogens that affect cereal production worldwide, reducing yield and quality. The prevalence incidence YDVs including barley yellow (BYDV-PAV BYDV-MAV) virus (CYDV-RPV) in fields Victoria, Australia were measured. As temperature decreases rainfall increases from north to south three geographical regions evaluated determine potential differences across the weather gradient. Cereal samples randomly collected each field...
