📢 The 2025 cereal and pulse disease guide is now available📢
@vicgovag has teamed up with @theGRDC to release this year’s version of the guide, which aim to shape biosecurity measures until 2026 to assist growers with combatting the most prominent threats.
🌾 The guides are relevant for both new and commonly grown grains, such as wheat, barley, oats, lentil, field pea, faba bean, and chickpea.
