Manage episode 374126524 series 3331413
Dr Murray Sharman is a Principal Plant Pathologist with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, based in Brisbane.
Murray reports that while no actual losses were reported due to Cotton Bunchy Top in cotton growing valley's last season - there was a much higher rate of occurrence of CBT, especially through northern NSW and on the Darling Downs in Queensland.
In this podcast, Murray offers an overview of the 22/23 season from a plant pathologist point of view, and doubles down on the message of good crop hygiene and why the time is now to prep paddocks for a 'clean slate' approach ahead of the 23/24 season beginning.
