                          Crop disease forecast


                          From an understanding of the biology of key plant pathogenic fungi it is possible to estimate the risks associated with particular diseases in key crops in Western Australia. Research undertaken by the Department has been used to develop tools to allow risk assessments to be made in the lead up to the cropping season. The information developed from these tools has been summarised on the linked pages below.

                          Current forecast:

                          • Cereal rust - (28th May 2009)
                          • Greenness and green bridge (7th June 2009)
                          • Blackspot management guide for field pea
                          • Canola blackleg - (25th June 2009)
                          • Lupin cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) - CMV risk forecast
                          • Cereal barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) - BYDV risk
                          • Lupin bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) - current forecast
                          • Canola beet western yellows virus (BWYV) - current forecast
