Fact Sheets - Take All Disease

Downloads

Summary

Take-all is a soil borne disease of cereal crops and is most severe on wheat crops throughout southern Australia. In Western Australia the disease is caused by two variations of the Gaeumannomyces graminis fungus; G. graminis var. tritici (Ggt) and G. graminis var. avenae (Gga) and is most severe in the high rainfall areas of the agricultural region (ie. southern cropping regions and areas closer to the coast). Control of take-all is predominantly cultural and relies on practices which minimize carry-over of the disease from one cereal crop to the next.
