Our #Eutypella paper is now out and freely available on March 8th 🥳 Let’s celebrate with two amazing female authors @aphrika_gregson & Anna Madden. We believe it occurred independently from a detection event in Qld, so worth checking. rdcu.be/c664T

Congratulations to the Mungbean King! @MathewDunn19

The All the Dirt newsletter is back!

@bidgeewidgee Woah! Got any shots of the drosera to share?

@WAJ_Webster @Jenson_Melanie @DuyLe15069637 @CottonHubUNE @DineshCotton has a background in nematology if memory serves!

@Jenson_Melanie @DuyLe15069637 @aphrika_gregson @CottonHubUNE Thanks heaps! From memory, I think maybe.. just maybe I met Duy on a cotton station tour a while back. Hi again if we did.

Heya #PlantPathology friends. Do you know good people who are into #Nepovirus and #Nematodes ? Please link me up. I’d like to know more about this play space - just fell 🥰 with the topic & I’m 🤯 with the potential future

For those who have never seen these growing wild, here is what a patch of Sturt desert peas looks like. I found several more patches today at Wirraminna.

Skies above the vineyard earlier this month. No edits, the pink tinge was also visible to naked eye @BOM_NSW Cirrocumulus?

The Central Tablelands in spring 🌼

Link to latest publication from @DuyLe15069637’s lab. First report of #Colletotrichum truncatum causing #cotton boll rot. We’re very proud of this work, thank-you to funding body @CottonResearch

@Judy_Dunlop @Blake_D_Palmer Aw yeah!

from Pilbara wildflowers to South-West ones. Hardenbergia and some kind of gastrolobium I guess 🌼🌿 #wildoz #ozplants

How cool is this? My wife made a #soil coring tractor topper for our #wedding cake - including an oreo based #vertosol I'm not sure what this says about me, but whatever it is my passion for soil science and #agriculture is very clearly supported at home!

Exciting and rewarding work I’m involved in at the DPI, Orange with @KevinDodds3: developing the Australian cider industry through the maintenance of an Australian cider apple ‘library’, and provision of bud wood to producers #cider #pome

You never know what you might come across when looking for owls in a Brisbane park. I'm assuming from the length of the prey's tail that this Kookaburra has caught itself a non-native Ship Rat?

Spring is finally around the corner in cold, cold Orange #Spring #Daffodil 🐝 🍊

Swainsona formosa, Sturt's desert pea. Wilyakali country, far western NSW. ❤️

Go bestie 💪🌺🧬 #WomenInSTEM

@fungoel @DuyLe15069637 !! Woah!!

One of the more interesting looking fungi I’ve been able to culture from barley in WA. Suspected to be Pyrenophora semeniperda (a minor pathogen aka Black Fingers of Death ☠️)

@DuyLe15069637 @NellMontH2O @LambethEmma @AthomasAmanda @KokeeffeK @BethShakeshaft Congrats! What a relief, such a huge effort 🧫🔬 🌱

We’ve done our survey, now off the road & back to lab with lots of samples to follow. We recovered lots of #Verticillium #Fuasarium #Sclerotinia #Alternaria. Priority is to PCR for confirmation of #FOV and Vert pathotypes to report back to participated growers. Thankss to all 🙏
