Black root rot, caused by Thielaviopsis basicola, is a significant disease threat to cotton, especially in cooler areas and seasons.

Regular disease surveys have highlighted the changing status of cotton diseases over time and

provided valuable insights into the factors affecting their distribution and severity.

This project has part funded field operation costs charged by DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri.

This project was a transitional one covering only one year to enable the incorporation of all our CRDC breeding projects under one submission (CSP 40C).
