A new Grain Central article reports that the GRDC has launched a $4.18-million Oat Septoria Research Consortium to address septoria avenae leaf blotch in Australian oats. The disease can cut yields by up to 15%, or up to 50% in susceptible varieties, and about 90% of Western Australian oat crops show some infection.
Research into septoria affects long-term Australian oat yield potential but has no immediate effect on prices for feed buyers.
