Rapid detection of significant crop diseases
Lead organisation: SARDI
Hub members and partners involved: Elders, Grain Producers SA
Project Category: Innovation Activities
Project summary: 

Early detection of incursions and diagnosis of leaf diseases underpin effective and efficient management decisions to minimise losses in the grains and horticultural industries. Agronomists and growers inspecting crops need access to rapid diagnostics to ensure appropriate crop protection decisions are made.

This project has two parts:

  1. Develop rapid testing capability in regions to support management decisions
  2. Increase ease, efficiency, traceability and reliability of diagnosing diseased samples through digital innovation and adoption.
