Funded Activity Summary

Understanding the evolution of fungicide resistance for durable control of fungal pathogens in pyrethrum. The pyrethrum plant is grown for the extraction of natural insecticidal pyrethrins used in a variety of pest control products. Australia supplies 60 per cent of the global market for natural pyrethrins. Fungal pathogens of pyrethrum can cause severe losses. This project will investigate fungicide resistance in these pathogens at the molecular level.
