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.

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.
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
🔵Boll rot caused by aprox 170 bacteria & fungi, sporadic yet important. Favored by mild, wet year, potentially again, so high risk for rot again

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
Orange is now home to one of Australia's largest cider apple collections. @ABCRural abc.net.au/news/2022-08-22/c…

We’ve been working with @LLSRiverina to assess platypus abundances and health in fire impacted rivers, prior to rehabilitation works. We captured 4 platypuses last week, including this big male 🤩@PlatypusCI
Can any plant scientists/ breeders explain what has happened to create this dahlia? Spotted in @BlueMountainsBG

Mosquito-borne Japanese encephalitis virus has been detected in NSW and Victoria. This is a highly unusual discovery and care should be taken to avoid exposure to mosquito bites. See alerts from @NSWHealth health.nsw.gov.au/news/Pages… and @VicGovDH health.vic.gov.au/health-adv…
🚨New #cotton wilt disease alert 🌱 🧫 Check photographs below and as always #CottonInfo and Duy will help collect and identify @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY
If you ever bumped into this in the field, pull it out and cut the tap root to check for discoloration since you may have found #Eutypella-infected plant, a new wilt disease that we are closely monitoring this season. Our REOs @CottonInfoAust are of the best contact.
