Northern Integrated Disease Management

Abstract

Diseases have considerable impact on field crops in the GRDC northern region. The outputs from this project have
resulted in significant contributions to the profitability and sustainability of farming enterprises in the region. They
have been achieved by conducting targeted research and development (R&D) on the integrated management of important
diseases of field crops, by gathering crop disease intelligence through surveys, diagnostic services and adviser
networks, by responding in a timely and appropriate manner to significant disease outbreaks and by the extension
of information to clients through electronic and print media and presentations at training courses, meetings and seminars.
