About Us
Welcome to Plant Pathology and Crop Protection at UNE!
We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and management of agriculturally important plant diseases. Our team is committed to exploring the complexities of plant pathogens, such as fungi, and developing innovative solutions to protect our crops.
By combining cutting-edge research with practical applications, we collaborate with farmers, industry partners, and the broader scientific community to promote sustainable agricultural practices that safeguard our cropping systems.
Join us in our quest to cultivate resilient crops and nurture a thriving planet. Let’s dig deep into plant health together!
Our group is focussed on creating more sustainable crop disease management through better understanding of plant diseases and investigating new management solutions.
