Why are some of my plants turning yellow and dying? One possibility: fusarium wilt. We address the challenges posed by fusarium wilt, a destructive, soil-borne fungal disease impacting favorite garden plants like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. But it's not just edibles. Fusarium wilt can strike trees, shrubs and perennials such as palm trees, prickly pear cactus, pyracantha, chrysanthemum, daffodils and gladiolus.What's a gardener to do? We have tips for thwarting - and living with - fusarium wilt. (Originally aired in Ep. 312).Pictured: a date palm tree infected with fusarium wilt.

What is Fusarium graminearum and why were scientists allegedly smuggling it into the US? Also, Alpine Glacier collapse and an HIV capitulation.The FBI has accused two Chinese scientists of trying to smuggle a dangerous crop fungus into the US, calling it a potential agro-terrorist threat. But the fungus has long been widespread across US farms, and elsewhere, and is treatable. So what's going on? Frédéric Suffert, Senior researcher in plant disease epidemiology at France's National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, gives us some insight.Last week, a glacier above the swiss village of Blatten collapsed and up to 12 million tonnes of ice and rock buried the idyllic, yet thankfully all-but evacuated, hamlet below. Daniel Farinotti of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology explains how it was monitored more than any such event before, and maybe, despite the tragedy, could help inform the science of such events in a warming world.Amongst the latest cuts to scientific funding by the US government, two consortia working at advanced stages of a potential HIV vaccine have been told their funding will not continue. Dennis Burton of Scripps Research describes finding out.The recipient of the Royal Society Faraday Prize 2024 gave his prize lecture last week.

This is the second in a two part series all to do with Autumn Ill thrift in grazing ruminants. Part one (Episode 61) explored some of the nutritionally-based reasons that may contribute to animals appearing ‘ill thrifty' when pasture quality shifts from standing, poor quality summer pasture to very high quality, lush autumn green feed. The potential for animal-health related challenges to contribute to autumn ill thrift issues is covered in this, our latest episode. First up, the role for internal parasites to cause autumn ill thrift issues is briefly discussed (but acknowledging the excellent resources for managing internal parasites can be found here with NZs very own Wormwise programme here https://beeflambnz.com/wormwise ). Other topics tackled in this podcast include the role for ‘facial eczema' (sporidesmin toxicity), endophyte alkaloids found in ryegrasses that contain standard (but not novel) endophytes, growth of Fusarium spp. on autumn pasture thatch, and trace mineral deficiencies. Last but not least, we cover the potential for sub-clinical effects of high levels of nitrate in autumn pastures (and crops) to reduce feed intake and therefore animal productivity. This nitrate topic builds on a previous discussion of nitrate toxicity covered in one of our earlier Rumen Room podcasts, Episode 5. As always, animal health topics discussed in this podcast are of a general nature only, and information provided is not intended to replace the advice of your own veterinarian and/or qualified nutritionist.

“Evaluation of speed breeding conditions for accelerating Fusarium head blight and deoxynivalenol screening in wheat” with Nidhi Rawat and Vivek Tiwari.   Fusarium head blight (FHB), also known as head scab, is one of the most significant diseases affecting wheat, causing substantial economic losses for farmers in the U.S. and worldwide. While FHB resistant wheat lines have been identified, breeding these traits into desirable cultivars is a time-consuming process that can take decades, with uncertain success. In the U.S., particularly for spring wheat, crossing of wheat lines can typically be done only once per year due to seasonal limitations, which slow down the process of development of disease-resistant cultivars. To overcome this challenge, speed breeding—an approach that involves growing plants under extended light exposure (20–22 hours per day) to accelerate their life cycle—offers a promising solution. This technique enables multiple generations of wheat to be produced within a single year, allowing for more frequent crossings and a faster transfer of disease resistance traits into desirable cultivars. In this episode, Drs. Nidhi Rawat and Vijay Tiwari share their insights on using speed breeding techniques to accelerate the breeding of disease-resistant cultivars. Tune in to learn: ·         What is Fusarium head blight? ·         How does Fusarium head blight cause economic loss to farmers? ·         What is speed breeding? ·         How does speed breeding help in developing disease resistance cultivars? ·         What are challenges in adopting speed breeding?

Fishery assessment models – the “backbone” of fisheries management – overestimate the sustainability of the world's fisheries, according to a study of 230 fisheries worldwide, and populations of many overfished species are in far worse condition than has been reported. We hear from Rainer Froese of GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. The lunar south pole contains evidence of ancient magma ocean. An analysis of lunar soil in the Moon's southern high-latitude regions, performed using data from India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, suggests the presence of remnants of a former ocean of magma. Roland speaks to Santosh Vadawale of India's Physical Research Laboratory. Stephanie Haustein of the School of Information Studies at Ottawa University discusses the article processing costs for open access of the journal publishing giants in science. The risk of a banana apocalypse could be near, but biologists, including Li-Jun Ma of the University of Massachusetts, might have found a key to their survival. Bananas are facing functional extinction due to the disease Fusarium wilt of banana caused by a fungal pathogen. Discovery of molecular mechanisms used by the banana-destroying microbe brings hope.

These strategies can significantly mitigate risks associated with disease pressures.Importance of MonitoringFarmers should closely monitor their crops for signs of disease, particularly in soybeans and sorghum. Early detection is crucial for effective management and can prevent more significant outbreaks.Actionable Advice for FarmersTo enhance crop health and manage disease risks, consider the following:Utilize effective seed treatments to reduce early-season disease risks.Implement crop rotation strategies to manage soil-borne pathogens effectively.Maintain vigilant monitoring of crops for any signs of disease development.Time Stamps(00:00) - Introduction to episode 312 of the Red Dirt Agronomy podcast with host Dave Deken.(00:36) - Introduction of the dream team, featuring Dr. Brian Arnall and Dr. Josh Lofton.(01:15) - Dr. Josh Lofton provides a crop update, discussing the hot summer and rainfall impacts on crops.(02:10) - Josh shares insights on the rapid growth of sorghum and the challenges posed by pests.(03:05) - Discussion on replant decisions due to favorable conditions for July crops.(04:26) - Josh talks about the implications of summer crop decisions on future wheat planting.(05:01) - Amanda shares information on short-season wheat options for growers.(05:37) - Josh discusses the unusual summer weather and its effects on disease pressure in crops.(06:04) - Introduction of Dr. Maíra Duffeck, the new row crop pathologist, to discuss disease pressure.(06:33) - Dr. Duffeck describes the early season conditions and their impact on disease development.(07:27) - Discussion on seedling problems in sorghum and soybean due to pathogens.(08:22) - Dr. Duffeck explains the effects of fusarium on sorghum and soybean seedlings.(09:02) - Dr. Duffeck shares observations on the health of corn fields and the lack of foliar diseases.(09:37) - Josh raises questions about the timing of preventative measures for soybean crops.(10:41) - Dr. Duffeck discusses the challenges of diagnosing seedling diseases in soybean and corn.(12:08) - The conversation shifts to the impact of environmental conditions on seedling diseases.(13:11) - Discussion on the management of charcoal rot in sorghum and soybean crops.(14:14) - Dr. Duffeck explains the symptoms and impacts of charcoal rot on soybean plants.(15:01) - The group discusses aflatoxin concerns and the conditions that favor its development.(21:03) - Dr. Duffeck shares insights on scouting for ear rot problems in fields.(22:15) - Discussion on the testing of silage corn for aflatoxin and its implications for dairy systems.(25:41) - The conversation explores the complexities of mycotoxin production in crops.(29:58) - Dr. Duffeck discusses the absence of foliar diseases in soybean fields this season.(31:12) - The group reflects on the early stages of crop development and disease pressure.(33:03) - Dr. Duffeck explains sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soybean and its management strategies.(36:15) - Discussion on the evolution of management strategies for SDS in soybean crops.(38:31) - Dr. Duffeck shares her background and journey from Brazil to Oklahoma State University.(44:19) - Closing remarks and thanks to Dr. Duffeck for joining the podcast.(45:12) - Dave Deken wraps up the episode and encourages listeners to visit the website for more information.

The latest figures from Defra show nearly 20,000 badgers were killed across England last year, as part of the Government's policy to tackle TB in cattle. Badger campaigners say that the continued culling is leading to local extinctions. Defra says there are no easy answers, but badger culling "has proved highly effective and needs to remain a part of our holistic approach".Jeremy Clarkson says if he wanted to make money from his thousand acre Oxfordshire farm he'd put as much as possible into government environmental schemes. Instead he's turned it into a TV show and for the third series, which starts today, he's gone into pigs.

Question from listener Linda: "We have fusarium wilt in our garden. We are putting in raised beds in April. What kind of barrier should go in at the bottom of the beds to prevent the wilt getting into the raised bed?" Fusarium wilt is a fungal disease that is widespread. Plants that contract it start getting yellowing leaves, and that's  usually followed by  the death of the entire plant.  Fusarium can infect many more plants than tomatoes. The list includes trees, shrubs,  and summer annuals, including some of your favorite garden plants besides tomatoes: peppers, potatoes, melons, eggplant, strawberries, onions, cucumbers, and more can all be attacked by specific forms of Fusarium. So can many ornamental flowers.What's a gardener to do? Master Gardener and vegetable expert Gail Pothour and myself discuss how Fusarium can get established in your garden, and the tools available to home gardeners to control the spread of this fatal plant disease, including using raised garden beds.  Note that we said, "control"...not "eradicate".Previous episodes, show notes, links, product information, and transcripts at the home site for Garden Basics with Farmer Fred, GardenBasics.net.
