Research Field Day Thurs 19 Sept. Get amongst irrigated trials hear about latest research results choosing the right variety and top agronomy tips to maximise yield to establishing flexible systems to adapt to the changing seasons and climate conditions. events.humanitix.com/research-field…

Are you sowing enough canola seeds? Here’s some results derived from an @theGRDC project that could help adjust seeding rates (kg/ha) based on small, medium or large seed size. Hope it helps.

Hey drone guys, where should I buy a drone or doesn’t it matter #askx

soilhub.com.au is now live Soil Hub enables soil pits to be accessible to everyone, everywhere. Initially focused on sandy soils, each pit includes expert analysis of soil constraints and management options provided by @Mel_Fraser1. @MsfMallee @ag_eyre @GRDCSouth

Great day with @Mel_Fraser1 this week. Diagnosing constraints on underperforming sands and designing strategies to treat the identified issues.

I am concerned about the level of paraquat resistant fleabane I am finding on the Adelaide Plains..note the green plants amongst the brown.. 150lt/ha water and 3lt paraquat hasn’t touched these.

Fleabane from SA cropping paddock survived 4L/ha paraquat! Other cases being tested. Dead plants = our susceptible standard killed with same rate. ⁦@DMAg_consultant⁩ ⁦@agrobaz⁩

Ryegrass loving the 5 inches of January rainfall in Quambatook, VIC 🤕

Medic germinating in January, ryegrass germinating in December, and an El Niño that just keeps on raining. A summer full of surprises. What’s next?

Due to a tree obstruction, this client opted for a drone to optimise their coverage and overall weed control using Basagran + MCPA. It’s exciting having tools like this available for our rice crops. @EldersLimited @ricegrowers @RiceExtension @GrowerService @GrahamPage01

@Azzaseed @BreedersPlant @PacificSeeds @russtybloke68 Hey @Azzaseed don’t suppose this was stripped next to some scepter for comparison by any chance?

1st wheat variety stripped by Lilliput Ag yesterday at Rutherglen, Matador wheat doing a wapping 7.52mt paddock average. We see a big future for this new Scepter replacement. @BreedersPlant @PacificSeeds @russtybloke68

@robbert115 @congreve_mark @marianoluna79 Hey Roberto where did you get that test strip kit from? Cheers

@congreve_mark @marianoluna79 Maybe between 120-180ppm?

A refresher on hard water vs AMS and Glyphosate From left to right: -test strip of hard water vs. -hard water + AMS 1% granules vs. -hard water + AMS 1% + 1.5L Glyph450. The darker the harder (see photo 👇 at end of thread). Glyph still (after AMS added) pulls hardness down

"When irrigated agriculture struggles the entire town struggles." Rice and mixed crop farmer Chris Morshead on the role ag plays in the community and how buybacks put it all at risk. We need to move #beyondbuybacks and #keepfarmersfarming @DavidPocock @JacquiLambie @TammyTyrrell_

@NSWDPI_Pastures @DrJasonCondon @HolbrookLN @meatlivestock Will be there any more upcoming sessions?

@DrJasonCondon teaching us how Lime works today at the @HolbrookLN and @meatlivestock Mannus demonstration site.

@Stephen75552005 @RiceExtension @GrowerService @angusverley @MirandaRoseAgro Wouldn’t that be a treat ☀️ 👌

Rice growers facing their fair share of adversity this season - ducks 🦆 - cold 🥶 - wind 🌬️ - snails 🐌 - poor germination 🌾 - RWA 🐛 - turbo chooks 🐓 The list goes on…what’s next Mother Nature? @RiceExtension @GrowerService @angusverley @MirandaRoseAgro

@DavidSandow1 @RiceExtension @GrowerService @angusverley @MirandaRoseAgro The best medicine for rice at establishment is some nice hot weather 👍

@PatrickConlan97 @RiceExtension @GrowerService @angusverley @MirandaRoseAgro Does the current cold weather stuff rice up at this stage?
