Extension
Our extension work is rooted in the belief that research should serve people. We aim to share practical, field-relevant knowledge that supports informed decision-making in crop production systems.
What we do
- Disease awareness and seasonal communication
- Farmer-oriented talks and information days
- Producer-facing summaries of research findings
- Collaboration with industry and organised agriculture
- Contributions to practical disease management discussions
Resources for producers
Practical summaries of our research to support informed decisions alongside local agronomic advice and registered product labels.

How we engage
- Farmer information days
- Industry meetings
- Popular articles
- Practical summaries and visuals
- Collaborative discussions with stakeholders
Why this matters
Good extension builds trust, supports better decisions, and helps ensure that research is responsive to the realities of production agriculture.
