Join DPIRD Research Scientist Jeremy Curry @JC6450 at #GRDCUpdates on Feb 27 to hear about the best strategies to optimise nutrition for canola in the high rainfall zone, including which nutrition investments made sense and which made no cents ๐ฐ! @GrainIndustryWA@GRDCWest
@ipaddockapps@pmackie6324@vrtsolutions Updated table to include Catapult. Denison/Catapult are hard to split in terms of yield potential (as reflected in early NVT series too) but some maturity/disease resistance differences (snapshot table from 2023 Sowing Guide).
@pmackie6324@vrtsolutions@ipaddockapps Denison sown a couple of weeks earlier than Scepter generally results in similar flowering time and yield potential. Data from 2021 DPIRD sites:
@vrtsolutions@ipaddockapps Denison, only limited data from previous years but has performed well in those observations. I donโt expect FN to be its weakness.
Calibre only limited data, but has performed at least as well as Scepter so far.
@vrtsolutions@ipaddockapps Illabo has a couple of years of testing and hasnโt shown much risk, especially when coupled with its later maturity that avoids a lot of damage from earlier harvest rainfall, FN rating of 5 (same as Scepter).
We are very fortunate to be joined by Nutrien's Brad Westphal (@agro_brad), CSIRO's Andrew Fletcher (@AndrewF00370433) and DPIRD's Andrea Hills (@AndreaHills9) to chat all things canola agronomy including nutrition, disease and canopy management.
10.45am start Wednesday 7 Sept.
Join us next Wednesday 7th September to have a look at the final year of @theGRDC Optimising HRZ Cropping trials at Gibson! Starts 10.45am at @DPIRDbroadacre canola site https://t.co/1gsIPJXJcP (follow signs off Campbell Rd, Gibson). Followed by @FAR_Australia cereals in arvo.
Fantastic site for @theGRDC @DPIRDWA high rainfall cropping site at Gibson, with thanks to the Whiting family. After no P response in 2021, a very visual response just two paddocks over in 2022. Check it out at our HRZ field day on 7 Sept. 2021 report at https://t.co/ffcVJbFNXW
Calibre. L to R sown 11 April (flowered 19 July), sown 29 April (nearing head emergence), sown 16 May (nearing flag leaf emergence) and sown 31 May (nearing first node). Which will come out on top?
Plenty of variation in development stage at the @DPIRDbroadacre wheat agronomy site at Grass Patch, with thanks to @farms_sanderson. Spring wheats sown 11 April range from late stem elongation to already filling grain! Last year top yields came from TOS2 (v. late April).
Alongside the N x P/K/S/manure nutrition trial, some significant differences starting to show as we try to manage canopy height and improve harvest index with defoliation and growth regulators.

I'll be presenting our latest pre-harvest sprouting results and strategies for management at the @theGRDC Grains Research Updates today at 11.25am (AWST).

This Thursday starting at 11am. Looking forward to chatting canola management with Bill Moore (Elders) and Jens Berger (CSIRO) at DPIRD's HRZ canola site (thanks to hosts, the Whiting family). Followed by @far_australia cereals in arvo. All part of @theGRDC HRZ cropping project.
Don't forget to register for our Esperance Crop Technology Centre field day next Thursday (9th Sept), featuring the @theGRDC's High Rainfall Zone Farming Systems project. We have a great line up of speakers joining us. Click here for more https://t.co/LoHdum3xdD
Don't forget to register for @theGRDC's Grains Research Update in Esperance where our very own Nick Poole will be joined by @DPIRDWA's Jeremy Curry to talk about achieving big yields for wheat, barley and canola in the HRZ. @Pooley_Nick_FAR@JC6450

Looking forward to Thursdayโs field walk incl. @DPIRDbroadacre wheat agronomy trials with over 30 varieties, four times of sowing, and a look at seeding depths and plant densities. Plus plenty else on with @marksey77325134, @SEPWA_ag and F&G trials.
All four times of sowing (14 April to 9 June) up and away at Grass Patch. DPIRD funded research looking at optimising wheat variety choice (in particular diff. maturity types) across the sowing window. Cracking site thanks to hosts @farms_sanderson.
