Myself and the team had a great time chatting to farmers, classers and brokers at the @AUS_SheepShow🐏🙌

Follow @ZondiiPtyLtd to stay up to date with the research & development of our on-farm wool micron testing technology!💡

[Zondii @ZondiiPtyLtd]

Wow! Our team was overwhelmed by the buzz around our on-farm wool testing technology at the @AUS_SheepShow! Our feet still haven’t hit the ground! 🙌

The exceptional quality of rams and fleeces on display instills a bright future for #wool.

We can’t wait to be back next year!

We're at @CSIRO's #AgCatalyst22 today with our #agtech partners @Hone_ag. Great to be a part of an important event exploring the latest #research and #innovation across the #agfood sector.

Very excited to have this year’s vacation students kick off an amazing 10 weeks at #AgCatalyst22 😁😁😁 you will hear more from me and a couple of our past students @EllieBennett308 and @JoNewton89 about the amazing scheme we run @CSIRO on the main stage on Wednesday!

@HazelScienceNut @CSIRO @csd_cotton @CottonResearch @hone_ag Thanks Hazel!

A busy week @CSIRO Myall Vale, handpicking, soil coring and ginning #cotton for my university honours #research project, looking at #nitrogen use efficiency and how we can monitor N using in-field near infrared #spectroscopy tech! 📈🌱 @csd_cotton @CottonResearch @hone_ag

@PacquiaoMarin @CSIRO @hone_ag @CottonResearch @csd_cotton @CottonInfoAust Hi Marin, the device would work on sugar cane leaf, however there are currently no models available for sugar cane. Hopefully advancements to measure for P and K content will be developed soon!

[Ellie Bennett @EllieBennett308]

Nitrogen (N) monitoring has never been so easy! The HoneLab Red device uses NIR to measure in-crop N (%). My @CSIRO studentship involves validating this frontier tech, enabling better N management across the cotton industry.🌱🔆@hone_ag @CottonResearch @csd_cotton @CottonInfoAust

[Ellie Bennett @EllieBennett308]

@worrolong @CSIRO @hone_ag @CottonResearch @csd_cotton @CottonInfoAust Hi Tom, there is already work being done with the device in other plants and their constituents, for example oil content in tea tree, moisture and protein in wheat, canola and barley, and it won’t be long before other macronutrients like Potassium and Phosphorus are investigated!

[Dr Hazel Parry @HazelScienceNut]

That's a wrap for our #studentsymposium 2022! Unfortunately, no lovely group photo on site this year as it was 100% virtual, we tried our best to get a group shot online instead... not quite the same🤣 Very well done to all our students in Ag and Food @CSIRO @MichielvanLC

[Dr Hazel Parry @HazelScienceNut]

Well done to students @CoreyCutler114 and @EllieBennett308 at Narrabri- this year #floods were certainly a challenge for data collection as this aerial shot shows!

[Ellie Bennett @EllieBennett308]

@Ryanosborne223 @CSIRO @hone_ag @CottonResearch @csd_cotton @CottonInfoAust Hi Ryan, yes I have. My project involves comparing the N values measured by the NIR spectroscopy device (HoneLab Red) to N values obtained from conventional laboratory analysis methods. These results will be released in the coming weeks!

[Dr Hazel Parry @HazelScienceNut]

Colleagues in Ag and Food @CSIRO pls tune in to our virtual #studentsymposium this Thurs and Fri, our students can't wait to tell you about the great research they have been doing over summer! @MichielvanLC thanks to sponsors @meatlivestock @CottonResearch @csd_cotton @theGRDC

[Nina Westenraad @NerdingNina]

65% of ag crops in Aus require pollination by #honeybees. Join me at the @CSIRO #studentsymposium this Friday to hear how agent-based models can help determine beehive placement for maximising crop pollination in agricultural landscapes. @theGRDC @AgriFuturesAU @HazelScienceNut

[Ellie Bennett @EllieBennett308]

@rod_yalloak @CSIRO @hone_ag @CottonResearch @csd_cotton @CottonInfoAust Hi Rod, yes the device works on other crops! Talk to @hone_ag, they are currently doing work with the device on canola and other cereals 🌾

@karinstark79 @CSIRO @hone_ag @CottonResearch @csd_cotton @CottonInfoAust Hi Karen, yes they are! Check out this link; https://t.co/gGpVNurIAJ

What is #drought tolerant cotton and how can it improve #australiancotton production in water limited environments? #TuneIn to the @CSIRO #studentsymposium this Friday to get an insight into the future of #cotton! @csd_cotton @CottonResearch @CottonInfoAust
