Completed Projects
Three Reports have been completed by CSPM for DEWHA for Tender
19/2005: Research into natural and induced resistance in Australian native
vegetation of Phytophthora cinnamomi and innovative methods to
contain and/or eradicate within localised incursions in areas of high
biodiversity in Australia. Dr
Bill Dustan and Dr Daniel Hüberli
presented some of the major findings at the recent Dieback Information
Group meeting held at the University of Western Australia, Perth, on July
4, 2008.
- Enhancing the efficacy of phosphite with the addition/supplementation of other chemicals such as those known to be involved in resistance - 2008
- Does the physiological status of the plant at the time of spraying affect the efficacy of phosphite? - 2008
- Eradication of Phytophthora cinnamomi from spot infections in native plant communities in Western Australia and Tasmania - 2008
