On-farm strip trials are informative and sensor technology and connectivity has made them easier. Jonathon Moore @pctagcloud reported on how to make them a success at the Feb/March GRDC Updates. Read his paper here: https://t.co/HENNxX0CbV #GRDCUpdates

Growing up around agricultural science gave Rosie McMurray a front-row seat to the way research can shape life on farm. Now she's bringing that perspective into the #GRDC #WeedManagementInitiative, where she's part of the #nextgen working on practical weed management solutions for Aussie grain growers.

@goesch_alex Hi Alex just wondering what variety in field 2 we had a similar issue with one variety of seed

We are not a serious country, we are not governed by serious people and we haven’t been for some time.

I remember hearing, one of the balance of power holders on how productive the Gillard government had been, despite being a minority government.

With the talk of super el nino this year, I found this table from the app ‘climate’ useful to analyse, especially coupled with long term yields in those years. How we use this info will be totally individualised. Still very dry Griffith nsw. 👎🤞

GRDC RiskWi$e experiments are starting to provide a clearer picture of which nitrogen strategies result in annual application decisions that are ‘more right more often’.

#Sorghum research is being strengthened under a new 7-year alliance that combines practical farming systems work with longer-term genetics.

Announced in November 2025, the Sorghum Strategic Alliance is a partnership between GRDC and the @uniQLD. It represents GRDC’s largest collaborative commitment to sorghum research to date and is intended to lift productivity and profitability for northern growers.

🎧PODCAST: Nutrition in a year with low starting water & high fertiliser costs🎧

🎯2026 looks a tough one, not much moisture about & getting high $$$$ fert a challenge.

Listen to our chat with @MaurieStreet re:
❓Where do you get the best ROI from your fert $$.
🚜Should you put your limited fert tonnes on wheat OR canola?
🧐Is NOT fertilising your crop false economy?

Learning from @CharlesSturtUni guru Sergio Moroni! Differences in genetic diversity for frost in @theGRDC projects led by @CSIRO
Lots to learn, but great to see the similar expression of damage in chambers and field which is exciting!

🌱 6 top tips for fertiliser decisions ahead of seeding 🌱

Global conflict and supply chain disruption are increasing the risk of fuel and fertiliser shortages and adding uncertainty to input logistics.

This has flow-on effects for transport and application, as well as the cost and timing of operations. In this environment, efficiency becomes even more important.

1️⃣ Pressure test your current fertiliser rate
2️⃣ Focus on profit, not maximum yield
3️⃣ Use your own paddock data
4️⃣ Talk to your farm adviser
5️⃣ Consider pulse or legume crops
6️⃣ Set yourself up for next season’s fertiliser decisions

WA farmers will be watching CSBP closely to see if they go on to make any new sales of urea or UAN at the now market price. If they do, it will be clear that this has been about margin, not availability.
