Spotlight on Aphanomyces Root Rot with Blake Gontar, SARDI
About this episode
Could that patch of poor-performing beans be more than just waterlogging? What are the tell tale signs of something more sinister?
In this episode SARDI researcher Blake Gontar explores Aphanomyces Root Rot (ARR) and its effect on pulse crops—what to look for, how it develops, and why wet, warm conditions can dramatically increase yield losses. Blake shares practical advice on how to manage ARR, the importance of biosecurity, and where to access free diagnostic support. We also discuss the new GRDC Soil Borne Disease Initiative and what it means for the future of pulse disease management.
