Disease Management Extension Network workshop – Kimba (28 July 2026)
Event Details:
As fungicide resistance continues to emerge across Southern Australian cropping systems, growers and advisers are being encouraged to strengthen their disease management strategies through a new series of Disease Management Extension Network (DMEN) workshops.
Designed to address region-specific disease challenges, this workshop in Kimba will provide practical, science-based guidance on disease identification, fungicide stewardship and integrated disease management. Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with disease experts from SARDI and CCDM and explore real-world scenarios that reflect the decisions being made on farm each season.
The workshops aim to help industry build the skills and confidence needed to manage disease pressure effectively while preserving the effectiveness of fungicide tools for the future.
Attendees will take part in hands-on disease identification, interactive discussions with plant pathologists, and real-world decision-making exercises based on common grower scenarios.
This workshop is open to growers, agronomists, advisers, consultants and others involved in crop disease management and fungicide decision-making. Places are limited to keep discussion practical and focused.
Participants will receive a resource kit that includes GRDC publications, copies of presentations and regional reference documents.
