Role of soil factors and transmission on propagation material of fungal pathogens in the severity of strawberry crown and root disorders

通过鉴定与根和冠疾病相关的病原体复合体及其影响，了解环境条件和轮作物种的影响，了解主要病原体的来源，并鉴定品种对病原体的抗性，该项目将为种植者提供一个独特的机会，以更好地管理澳大利亚南部发生的草莓疾病。 其好处包括防止草莓的严重损失，使草莓生产和出口更加可行，可持续和环境友好，解决国家研究优先事项“环境可持续的澳大利亚”和“改造现有产业”的优先目标。

Through identification of the pathogen complexes associated with root and crown disorders, their impacts, understanding the influences of environmental conditions and rotational species, knowing the sources of major pathogens, and identification of varietal resistances to the pathogens, this project will provide a unique opportunity for growers to better manage such disorders of strawberries occurring across southern Australia. Benefits include prevention of severe losses in strawberries, making strawberry production and exports more viable, sustainable and environmentally friendly, addressing the National Research Priority 'An Environmentally Sustainable Australia' and the Priority Goal of 'Transforming existing industries".
