CCDM's 10th Anniversary

This month we celebrated CCDM's 10th Anniversary, marking a decade of impactful research and innovation in reducing the economic impact of crop disease for Australian growers.

Our director, Mark Gibberd, who has been with our centre from the beginning, highlighted the CCDM's journey to becoming a success story of capability building and sustained industry-led innovation. With over 120 research staff and students, CCDM is not only focused on improving long-term solutions for managing crop disease but also exploring new directions in agricultural data analytics.

It was brilliant to also hear speeches from Curtin’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Harlene Hayne, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research Professor Melinda Fitzgerald, and Chair of the Grains Research and Development Corporation Mr John Woods last night.

Thank you to all our partners, collaborators, and the exceptional staff and students whose dedication and hard work have been instrumental in shaping the centre into what it is today.

The new ‘On Farm Experimentation Grower Case Studies’ booklet is a result of the On-Farm Experimentation project led by Curtin University’s Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) and highlights the value of farmer-led paddock-scale trials using farm equipment to find solutions to nutrition management.
