Based on 2023 we estimated ~9mm in early Apr & ~5mm mid-Apr on mallee sand (no repellence etc) was enough to maintain water potentials for 50% canola emergence. These rules worked again, shame it hasn't happened in reality this time. Here's hoping we all get 5mm++ soon @theGRDC

✅ Dry seed the cleanest paddocks 1st
✅ Understand the key properties of your pre-ems
✅ Increase crop seeding rate or crop competitiveness
