Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southern Queensland’s Institute for Resilient RegionsDr Geoff Woolcock is asking that exact question through a commissioned evaluation of the social impact of the newly established Queensland Music Trails, an initiative from QMF.

An innovative new Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) investment will investigate whether an international research finding could be part of the genetic solution for Australian growers managing the costly disease Fusarium crown rot.
Caused by the fungus, Fusarium pseudograminearum, crown rot is a significant disease for winter cereals such as wheat, barley, durum, triticale and oats, costing the nation’s grains industry an estimated $404 million in lost yield annually.
