Wheat blast is a serious and rapidly developing fungal disease that primarily infects wheat, but oats, barley, triticale and certain grasses. Wheat blast can devastate entire crops, resulting in yield losses of up to 100 per cent. Although Australia remains free from wheat blast, its increasing global spread highlights the need for strong on-farm biosecurity practices and early detection.
Everyone who enters a farm has a role to play in maintaining strong biosecurity practices. This is essential not only for protecting your flock or herd, but for safeguarding Australia’s broader livestock industries.
