Abstract
Aim
To investigate the most effective and profitable break crops in rotation with cereals (wheat) for growers with RLN and R. solani in the same paddock, a two-year (2018 & 2019) break-crop rotation trial was implemented in Dumbleyung and Grass Valley.
Key Messages
- Canola is not a break crop in paddocks if root lesion nematodes (RLN) and Rhizoctonia solani are both present
- Weed free legumes, pulses and pastures are the best options where RLN and R. solani co-exist in a paddock
- Cereals substantially increase RLN and R. solani levels while canola will also increase RLN
