Growers should be on the look out for mice activity in maturing crops. We have noticed mice damage to rice crops around the Riverina. Check your paddocks and bait accordingly. @ricegrowers @GrowerService

We often hear the Bitterns in the rice fields we monitor in Benerembah but today was the first time I got close enough to get a photo with the phone. @ricegrowers @GrowerService

Our #bitternsummit was AMAZING! Huge thanks to everyone that made it happen. About 120 people came, saw and heard all about these wetland icons. @LLSRiverina @AusLandcare @ricegrowers @wetlandsworking @theCEWH @nswenviromedia @irrigation_news @TSR_Hub @GrowerService @HeronCons

Just a few of the various #irrigation outlets we have automated with automation #Alfies. Slides, drop boxes, tarp inserts on various concrete outlets. Working out around $600-$650 per outlet with existing door. #FutureDroughtFund @RiceExtension @ricegrowers @GrowerService

Recent grower meetings in on farm and DVT trials discussing best practice and how to grow rice more efficiently and sustainably. A project supported by MLLS, through funding from the Australian Governments National Landcare Program. @Murray_LLS @RiceExtension @ricegrowers

Yield penalties are most likely to occur when cold temperatures persist during microspore. Deep water provides a buffer effect against cold temperatures. Aim to maintain deep water from 12 days after PI until mid-flowering. @growerservice #rice23 bit.ly/3PQBLCX

Riverina rice growers, interested in checking early outputs from the Real Time Rice project (PW, PI, benchmarked growth + N curves...)? Send a DM or get in touch with @GrowerService @RiceExtension. Project support @AgriFuturesAU with @une_aarsc @BrianDunn1287 @NSWDPI_AgWater ..

In this podcast Annabel Arnold and Troy Mauger from the Rice Extension team sit down with Malcolm Taylor from Agropraisals Pty. Ltd. to discuss weed management in aerial sown crops. Listen here: spoti.fi/3Ox4JXO

Great advice here - important to make sure expectations are set around weed control when relying only on post-em treatment like #Agixa. It’s very good on BYG but best results/BMP for resistance is following 3-way mix or some combo of the 3-way mix @RiceExtension @GrowerService

The second Rice Extension podcast for CY23 addresses weed management in drill sown crops. This episode is relevant for growers who have not managed to apply their foundation spray due to poor trafficability. Listen over on Spotify 👉 loom.ly/SImhg0Q

@AlleenaBurger @RiceExtension @ricegrowers @scottburger00 @NutrienSthEast @Jeremy_Morton_ @MichaelGorey1 So devastating! Mother Nature can certainly be destructive. Such a tough time!

We're kicking the Rice Extension CY23 podcast series off by discussing nitrogen management options for growers who have aerial sown and were unable to put urea underneath their crop. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: loom.ly/E13iNv8

Teaching #siri how to #irrigate. Our automation #Alfies allow you to simply tell the equipment what to do. It’s as simple as saying ‘Hey Siri’. Equipment responds instantly too😉 coming to a rice field near you soon! @DAFFgov @RiceExtension @ricegrowers @GrowerService

Aerial sown rice variety experiment at Mayrung is looking great. Nice to have one experiment powering along in this tough year. @AgriFuturesAU @RiceExtension @NSWDPI_AgWater
