The Centre for Crop and Disease Management The Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) at Curtin University launched in April 2014 as a co-investment between the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and Curtin University. The CCDM is a major investment in research training, crop disease-focused research activity and infrastructure. The Centre includes a new high-quality research facility at Curtin, used for research and development to sustainably reduce the impact of important grain pathogens and ultimately, to provide solutions to reduce the impact of diseases on farm business resilience. The Centre's activities integrate molecular sciences with field-based agronomy to generate new avenues to breed disease-resistant germplasm and to assist farmers to sustainably utilise a full range of disease control options. The CCDM has three themes of activity with several projects in each theme. There is strong interdisciplinary collaboration within the Centre and active collaboration with leading national and international scientists.
