Quantifying the yield risk of planting CMV, AMV & BYMV infected lentil seed in the Southern region.
Details
Description
Investment Description
There is a data gap relating to the plant health impacts and actual yield risk from sowing lentil seeds with known levels of infected cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) and bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV). As the yield risk is unknown, growers are not seed testing and are unable to make informed choices on planting virus infected lentil seeds.
This investment will provide the Southern region lentil growers, advisers and commercial seed businesses with a ‘Risk Matrix Guide’ that informs on the quantified yield risk of planting various levels of CMV, AMV & BYMV infected lentil seed with the anticipated long-term outcome of reducing the levels of the viral diseases CMV, AMV and BYMV in the cropping system.
Investment Outcome
By 2028, 37% of lentil growers in the Southern Region will have decreased the yield loss from CMV, AMV and BYMV in lentils by at least 25% through the adoption of seed testing and planting according to the yield risk of planting lentil seeds with known levels of virus infection.
Outputs
Output 1
By 2024 deliver to industry the quantified yield risk of planting known levels of CMV, AMV and BYMV infected lentil seed in the Southern region.
Details:
- Conduct field experiments over 2 years. Field experiments located in key lentil growing areas of the Southern region.
- Measure yield impact of planting differing levels of seed infection.
- Determine for all treatments, plant density, survival of seed-infected plants, disease progress for current season virus infection, grain yield and subsequent incidence of virus level in harvested seed.
Output 2
By 2024 a ‘Risk Matrix Guide’ that provides information on the risk to yield of planting CMV, AMV and BYMV infected lentil seed in the Southern region will be published and delivered to growers, advisers and seed production businesses.
Output 3
By 2024, delivery of a communication package stemming from the research outcomes.
Details:
- Develop a communications plan in consultation with GRDC within the first 3 months of project commencing.
- The communications plan will ensure the outputs generated in this investment reach the intended audience and promote adoption of recommendations.
