Wagga Wagga Plant & Invertebrate Pathology Group
The Wagga Wagga Plant Pathology Group are researchers, students and technical staff who work on plant diseases, their causes and their control. Most are located at the Wagga Wagga campus of Charles Sturt University in the School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences and at the Wagga Wagga Agricultural Institute, a part of the Primary Industries section of Industry & Investment NSW (see Governance for linkages within the group and to other organisations).
The group is situated at one of the key locations in Australia where research in plant pathology is done in the agricultural production zone. Proximity to key clients and stakeholders in viticulture and broad acre agriculture creates a clear focus of research and education relevant to these industries.
Members of the WWPPG are drawn from the EH Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation and the National Wine and Grape Industry Centre.
