Collecting the start of season soil samples to test Rhizoctonia DNA and nutrients in the Grizzly ploughed and unploughed areas of the CFIG demo trial North of Corrigin as part of the national #RhizoLMRZ project with DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock and GRDC #ProtectingWACrops

On #IDPH the DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock Crop Protection team shows how we contribute to improving the agricultural industry and the environment through plant protection. #ProtectingWACrops

Two paddocks in Hyden, Holt Rock Group, and Corrigin, CFIG, were sampled by DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock for testing for Rhizoctonia DNA, catabolic diversity & nutrients from 150 GPS points per site for national GRDC #RhizoLMRZ project. Now we check for patches. #ProtectingWACrops

Our first plant emergence counts for this year in the new Rhizoctonia MADFIG demo trial looking at sowing depths at east Merredin as part of the national #RhizoLMRZ project with DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock and GRDC. How will Rhizo behave in the different depths? #ProtectingWACrops
