University of Sydney Plant Breeding Institute releases 2012 leader table for rust responses by variety


Australia
May 21, 2012

With growers gearing up to plant large winter crop acreages into high levels of soil moisture, the Plant Breeding Institute (PBI) has released the 2012 leader table for rust responses by variety.

The annual report lists rust responses across the range of Australian commercial wheat and triticale varieties and now includes vulnerabilities to leaf and stem rust as well as stripe rust.

Dr Colin Wellings, University of Sydney PBI (on secondment from NSW Department of Primary Industries) says the list keeps growers and technical advisors alert to potential issues identified in field trials.

The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) supports rust research via PBI and the Australian Cereal Rust Control Program.

An ongoing testing service for growers and agronomists ensures identification of suspected rust outbreaks.

Rusted plant samples can be mailed to PBI for analysis in paper envelopes (do not use plastic wrapping or plastic lined packages). Direct samples to: Australian Cereal Rust Survey, Plant Breeding Institute, Private Bag 4011, Narellan NSW 2567.
