  • Investigation Into the Emerging Soil Borne Disease of Peanut – Neocosmospora Root Rot
    Investigation into the emerging soil borne disease of peanut – Neocosmospora root rot Kylie M. Wenham Bachelor of Applied Science (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Agriculture and Food Science i Abstract Neocosmospora root rot is an emerging soilborne disease of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crops in Australia caused by Neocosmospora vasinfecta var. africana. The fungal pathogen was first identified in southern Queensland in 2005 following extensive damage to an irrigated peanut crop, and has since been found in all peanut growing areas in Queensland and New South Wales. Typical symptoms of the disease include extensive chlorosis and wilting of the plant starting from the main stem, and a blackened and decayed root system with reddish-orange perithecia of N. vasinfecta present on necrotic tissue of the main tap root and lateral root system as well as the pods. While the disease has been widely observed in agricultural production areas of Australia and is considered one of the most destructive pathogens of peanut, the biology, ecology and aetiology of N. vasinfecta is largely unknown therefore the biotic and abiotic factors that may influence the infectivity of the pathogen and severity of disease epidemics have not been identified. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the biology, ecology and aetiology of N. vasinfecta var. africana and understand how these factors may contribute to the pathogenicity of the fungus. Due to limited knowledge of the biology of N. vasinfecta var. africana, a morphological and molecular approach was taken to determine the taxonomic identification and the morphological characteristics of the pathogen.

This commitment is part of the Councils’ work with the Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail Inc to champion the development of the rail corridor and represent the expectations of the community. The Department of Transport and Main Roads funded the project and the two Councils oversaw the preparation of the report. The proposed Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail would be developed effectively on two disused railway corridors between Taragoola (Calliope) and Reids Creek (Gayndah). These railway corridors are the Gladstone to Monto corridor (though the study area starts at Taragoola) corridor and the Monto to Gayndah corridor (though the study area ends at Reids Creek).
