Abstract | Key points: Sorghum, cotton, barley, chickpeas and soybeans have been identified as alternative hosts for Fusarium wilt in mungbeans, but as sorghum is only a poor host it may be a suitable break crop Brown leafhopper was confirmed as a vector of phytoplasma to peanuts and pigeon peas Research into summer crop diseases in the northern region has shed new light on Fusarium wilt in mungbeans and phytoplasma infection in grain legumes. The GRDC-invested research improves the knowledge of summer crop diseases and their management while providing essential pathology support for other GRDC programs. It has been led by the University of Southern Queensland in collaboration with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF). |
