@DMAg_consultant @Matt_HerringOz Good season for them I guess - ours are pretty inquisitive. I like to keep my wife updated on their movements. She thinks I'm an idiot.

@Mick_T_Rose @Matt_HerringOz Yep looks like them for sure 👍 just looked it up

Bird ID ? @Matt_HerringOz

@DMAg_consultant @JasonBrand @DSchub11 @SeanM_DMAg_SA @brettbarker92 @chriswalsh008 @aikman_garth Interesting Matt - what form of inoculant used this year? Does that mean current inoculant strain needs to be re-examined in terms of ability to survive and infect? Or were conditions not great at sowing for inoculant survival? @NSWDPI_Soils

Despite innoculating this year , past pulse history showing up again. Lupins 3 years ago Left vs over 6 years ago on right. @JasonBrand @DSchub11 @SeanM_DMAg_SA @brettbarker92 @chriswalsh008 @aikman_garth

@AngePattison Hey Ange looks very interesting. What were your earliest sowing dates?

Autumn sown chickpea trial yesterday at Narrabri. These are 2 genotypes growing one plot away from each other. I’m told the Emerald and Gunnedah sites performed very differently - I’m so excited to see some yield numbers! GRDC video on this trial due to come out very soon

Fascinating discussion @MutualRegen and @gabriellechan, I really enjoyed it. Only meant to watch 10 min but couldn't stop. Keep them coming Wardy... youtube.com/watch?v=b1sbGL…

Is this a titan phasmid @StickmanBraxton? Found in our plum tree northern nsw

@agrobaz Might be a bit late to the party Baz, but did you get any herbicide residue measures at sowing? Would be nice to relate total/available residue levels to crop effects to help assess potential effects on other soil types

Interesting looking at impact of various residual herbicides applied last yr on rhizobium health in peas, lentils and vetch. Big part of the picture! Acid tolerant spp performing well at this site too 👍

Good on you Kate!

Did you know NSW DPI has a whole book on how to manage soil erosion? on this #WorldSoilsDay19 check out #SavingSoil and Stop Soil Erosion, Save our Future! dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/so…

The winner of the inaugural Ian Sargeant Student Awards @SoilScienceAust on #WorldSoilDay @AgriBioAustral1 @latrobe goes to Gavin Styles @MonashUni~ Wonderful #SOIL3MT.

During #ScienceWeek week check out 1 of NSW DPI's research sites for Soils Unit work: Wollongbar Primary Industries Institute. It's 125 this year. youtu.be/yaCWhDZPpR4

@agrobaz @DanDixon_Ag @jochim_jager Any chance some of those paddocks have a bit of gp B/I carryover Baz giving an extra whack?

Anyone else finding rexade a bit tough on crops this yr? Really only had 3 frosts followed by ideal growing conditions. Weeds dying nicely. @DanDixon_Ag @jochim_jager Not every farm affected 🤷‍♂️

Hard to find a better way to display the ‘impact’ of an academic paper than in situ on the Coffs Harbour jetty breakwall. Great poster board!

@dyerjonathan According to abstract, mice were fed 0.5 mg/kg body per day in water. For 70 kg adult drinking 2L per day, concentration of atz in water would be ~20 mg/L, i.e. 1000X the Aus guideline (0.02 mg/L). Aus guidelines assume 10% daily intake from water, plus 100X safety factor.

Where the mice exposed to levels considered safe for humans? Or equivalent dose/kg body weight? Article is unclear.

@agrarianliberty @BudimanSoil has done some interesting work on this question. Check out youtu.be/bbs-RXADOcQ

A question for the soil scientists. If you could lift soil carbon in the top 20cm by 0.1% what is the increase in PAWC? #soils
