As part of the Australian Grains Pest Innovation Program’s (AGPIP) blue sky approach to tackling insect pests in Australian grain crops, endosymbionts are being used to influence an insect’s ability to transmit crop viruses and resist pesticides. Dr Perran Ross from the University of Melbourne’s Pest and Environmental Adaptation Research Group (PEAR–G) explains what endosymbionts are, how they are being used and what impact they will have; and PhD student, Eloise Ansermin explains the new behavioural studies that have never been trialled before.Contact:Dr Perran RossUniversity of MelbournePEAR -GPerran.ross@unimelb.edu.auMore Information:                        How to send off samplesPest and Environmental Adaptation Research Group (PEAR-G)Novel pest solutions – podcastAGPIP  Learn more about your ad choices.

Sandy soils account for five million hectares of Australia’s southern grain growing region. Crop water use and productivity on these sandy soils are commonly limited by a range of soil constraints that affect root growth. In this podcast we hear from CSIRO’s Senior Research Scientist Dr Lynne Macdonald who leads GRDC’s sandy soils program in the southern region. The program aims to improve the diagnosis and management of underperforming sandy soil in the Southern Region. Project code: CSP00203 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liming to maintain good soil pH levels and avoiding yield losses is just as important as applying fertiliser for maximising yields.If growers let soil pH levels in the topsoil run-down (pH in CaCl2 &lt; 5.0) they are at risk of creating soil acidity issues at depth which are harder and more expensive to treat.In general, not enough lime has been applied frequently enough to address acidification occurring within the whole soil profile, so soil test to depth and calculate lime requirements for 0-10cm, 10-20cm and 20-30cm, not just the top 10cm of soil.Contact:Lisa Miller Southern Farming Systems 23 High St, Inverleigh, Vic 3321 0488 600 226 lmiller@sfs.org.au Further Information: https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2019/02/lime-and-liming-managing-soil-healthhttp://www.sfs.org.au/SoilAcidityLimeResponsehttps://agex.org.au/project/soil-acidity/https://grdc.com.au/legumes-in-acidic-soilshttps://www.agric.wa.gov.au/soil-acidity/soil-acidity-frequently-asked-questions-faqshttp://vlpa.asn.au/w/product-specification/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Bait, Bash Or Burn – Latest Advice On Snail Control

Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda was detected in Australia for the first time in January 2020 and a warning was issued to grain growers to inspect crops for signs of the pest’s presence. The larval stage of the moth is similar in appearance to many caterpillars already present in agricultural and horticultural crops and can cause severe economical damage, even total crop destruction. At the 2020 Grains Research Update at Goondiwindi principle entomologist with Queensland’s Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Melina Miles provided background to the Fall Armyworm’s detection in Queensland, explained what damage to look for and described what features identify this caterpillar from the many other caterpillar pests commonly found in Australia.

Barley grass in the southern cropping region is becoming more prominent as a problem weed for croppers – as herbicide resistance emerges and as the plant evolves develops new behaviours. A region wide series of trials is taking place, including work being carried out at Birchip in western Victoria by the Birchip Cropping Group, with the overall project being overseen by weed and cropping specialist, Associate Professor Gurjeet Gill from the University of Adelaide.

They may be tiny but the damage they can potentially do is far from small. Root Lesion Nematodes are well known as a problem, but there is still much to learn about them and their impact on crops. A new investment by GRDC aims to fill in some knowledge gaps in parts of WA and develop further options for growers seeking to better control the nematodes if they are proving a problem in individual paddocks.
