GENERAL COMMENTS Interpretations are based only on the data provided with the sample and the results of the DNA analysis. Clients should not rely on these interpretations as the sole source of advice as seasonal conditions, paddock history and other agronomic factors may affect crop performance. A cereal rotation program is assumed and where possible interpretations refer to the planned crop and cultivar advised with the sample. *** HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES *** CCN: In medium to low rainfall areas potential yield loss in susceptible cereals could be in the range of 5 - 25%. Since wheat is the planned crop sowing resistant cultivars will prevent build up. LOW PRIORITY ISSUES Pratylenchus neglectus: Risk of yield loss in cereals is minimal. Pratylenchus thornei: Low risk of significant yield loss. Focus on other diseases. Blackspot: Black spot levels are low but given that peas are not intended this should not be an issue. If peas were to be considered a yield loss of 5-10% could occur.

GENERAL COMMENTS

Clients should not rely on these interpretations as the sole source of advice as seasonal conditions, paddock history and other agronomic factors may affect crop performance. Wheat should not be grown. This padock needs another year out either as canola or as vetch again

*** HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES ***

Take-all: Potential yield loss in susceptible cereals is in the range of 15 - 60%. Wheat should not be grown. Control of grasses in selected crop or pasture is a high priority. Canola is a better alternative

Oats race: Oats race presence means oats are not a suitable rotation crop for take-all management.

Blackspot: Although peas are not intended the high level of black spot should be noted. Peas should not be considered as an alternative crop and volunteer peas should be controlled to reduce innoculum.

LOW PRIORITY ISSUES

Pratylenchus neglectus: Risk of yield loss in cereals is minimal.

Pratylenchus thornei: Low risk of significant yield loss. Focus on other diseases.

F. pseudograminearum: F. culmorum: Levels detected at the low end of low risk range for bread wheats. Yield losses likely to be minimal. Durum is more susceptible than bread wheats but levels are still in the low range with yield losses probably under 5%.
