Central Queensland chickpea growers and their advisers will have an opportunity to hear the latest disease management strategies as part of a series of on-property question-and-answer sessions being held next week.
An initiative of the Central Queensland Grower Solutions Group, which is a Grains Research and Development Corporation investment, the sessions will include information on chickpea disease symptoms, spread and infection sources as well as strategies for control, including fungicides and rates.
