This travel scholarship funded the attendance of one researcher to participate and present at the 2018 FUSCOM Conference. The presentation topic, "Can We Really Use a Soil Test to Manage Black Root Rot Risks?The Initial Approach" explored growers ability to use real time tests to diagnose Black Root Rot(BRR).

These tests were designed to be predictive tools for growers to enable them to make agronomic decisions in a timely cost effective manner to minimise losses as a result of BRR.
