Barley Net Blotch Initiative (BNBI) Program 1 – Pathogen surveillance, monitoring, and screening

Net blotches pose an escalating and urgent threat to Australian barley, costing the industry an estimated $122 million each year through disease-related yield losses, downgraded grain quality, and higher fungicide management costs. Widespread planting of susceptible varieties, growing barley on barley, and over-reliance on fungicides with a singular mode of action are driving net blotch pathogens to evolve and spread faster than current efforts can respond. This procurement is specifically for the pathogen surveillance, monitoring and screening component of BNBI. GRDC is seeking a capable partner to strengthen Australia’s capacity for surveillance, monitoring and screening of rapidly evolving net blotch pathogens.
