The challenge
Protecting our cereal and wine industries
Plant pathogens such as Fusarium and rust fungi and mildews cause diseases that can have major economic impacts and threaten Australia's cereal and wine industries.
Our response
Solutions to control damage
We focus our research on identifying solutions to control damage caused by these pathogens while protecting our environment. We take a multidisciplinary approach to prevent disease in the most effective way.
Below we showcase some of our projects across a range of crops to help stop pests and diseases. We are proud to help Australian farmers and industry remain profitable, and to provide solutions that are applicable to others around the globe.
