Dr Yujuan (Jady) Li is a Research Fellow with the Research Institute for Northern Agriculture (RINA) at Charles Darwin University.
In the seminar ‘Unveiling the hidden world below: Nematodes in agriculture’, Jady will take us into the tiny world of nematodes. We will learn about the basics of nematode biology and their impact on agriculture ecosystems, and will discover the importance of plant-parasitic nematodes through Jady’s research. We will also dive into the world of integrated nematode management, focusing on sustainable agricultural solutions.
Jady, who holds a Bachelor's degree in plant pathology and a PhD in soil nematode ecology, is an accomplished nematologist who has applied her expertise to the realm of agricultural systems. Her groundbreaking research on plant-parasitic nematodes, spanning both broadacre and horticultural crops, has paved the way for innovative and sustainable farming models.
Noteworthy among her achievements is the development of fungal biocontrol agents, effectively addressing the challenge of diminishing registered nematicides. Recognising her outstanding contributions to agricultural research and industry, Jady has been honoured with three national awards from federal and state governments.
