Talk about resilience! 🫛Faba beans that copped a battering from hail a few weeks ago have managed to not only keep flowering but also start podding despite the broken branches 💪🏽 @SouthernFS #fababeans #haildamage #flowering

Consultant Kirrily Condon @grassrootsag told growers & agronomists at a GRDC–Brill Ag faba bean workshop that in the past 2yrs their clients in low-medium rainfall areas had only applied one fungicide spray to faba beans each year. Find out how 👇👇👇 bit.ly/4c6QMu3

We're sorry Wimmera farmers... we know you hate filling out surveys & we hate asking you to do them BUT the info we get is super helpful in working out how we can grow better beans. Just ask @JasonBrand - if you've got 5 mins, we'd love your input 👇👇👇 bit.ly/48PN9XO

Attention Wimmera farmers Is faba bean yield instability a problem for you? You can help by completing this five minute survey so we can better understand the barriers to growing consistently high-yielding faba bean crops in the Wimmera. surveymonkey.com/r/fababeans ⁦⁩

Canola on right after fabas and on left after wheat - crop on right coming home with wind in the sails on extra water and N. Effects on yield, costs, inputs, profit, weeds, disease, all important to track over the years in the @GRDC @NSWDPI @CSIRO Farming Systems Project

@matthew_sparke @JasonBrand @Sara_N_Blake and I scored botrytis there 18th Aug. PBA Amberley a clear winner out of the varieties, as expected. Low levels of cerco and a few spots of asco in susceptible lines observed but not worth scoring.

Cercospora leaf spot on faba bean crops around Bordertown (SA & Vic) has been reported. @CropWatchSA Soil borne disease, more common in paddocks with long term bean cropping & promoted by rain (eg. June rainfall). React where necessary. Thanks to @buckets4444 for photo
