Description

It’s an ever-present challenge for Australian grain growers, but understanding how fungicide resistance develops, and what can be done to manage it, is key to protecting crops, and keeping disease pressure low. In this episode at the Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) at Curtin University, Dr Nola D’Souza explains how her team detects and tracks fungicide resistance in the lab, the role of AFREN, and the practical steps growers can take to slow its spread. 


The Australian Fungicide Resistance Extension Network (AFREN) is a GRDC investment, led by Curtin University. CCDM is a partnership between GRDC and Curtin University.
