@iMapPESTS Sentinels 2 & 8 deployed for @theGRDC by @SA_PIRSA in 40km spaced transect @MidNorthHRZ and @agtbreeding (Roseworthy) detected very high peaks of airborne Botrytis pathogens Sept 22-26th. Data available at https://t.co/HHFaIjPEPi

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

Five @iMapPESTS Sentinels (1,2,8,11 & 12) set by @SA_PIRSA in 40km transect with @CotLmesonet @MidNorthHRZ to @agtbreeding (Roseworthy) detected high peak July 16 of key airborne pathogens to @theGRDC prior to rain promoting disease. Inspect crops! Data on https://t.co/HHFaIjPEPi

@SA_PIRSA today broke the record for @iMapPESTS - ELEVEN Sentinels out in Australian Agriculture showcasing innovation for pest & disease surveillance for @theGRDC @Hort_Au @wine_australia @sugarresearch @CottonResearch & Forestry. Big score by @AUSVEG @DataEffects @DeptAgNews

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

Whahoo! @SA_PIRSA @DataEffects deployed 5 @iMapPESTS Sentinels in @CotLmesonet transect from @MidNorthHRZ to @agtbreeding (Roseworthy) to examine spatial variation of key airborne pathogens to @theGRDC Data up soon on https://t.co/roQpS34oop

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

@iMapPESTS @SA_PIRSA @DataEffects @AUSVEG deployed Sentinel 9 @MidNorthHRZ reaching an important evolution from Sentinel 1 for compact flexible surveillance for airborne pests for @theGRDC @Hort_Au @wine_australia @sugarresearch @CottonResearch @envirogov @AgriFuturesAU Forestry

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

@ToniPetronaitis @theGRDC @GRDCNorth @nswdpi Great work Toni. Doesn't come as a surprise! Doing great work 👍

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

Adapting & innovation brings .. success!! Our @DataEffects dashboard is LIVE! https://t.co/HHFaIjPEPi for @iMapPESTS Sentinels delivering an end-to-end surveillance system for @theGRDC @wineaus @Hort_Au @CottonResearch @sugarresearch @planthealthaust @DeptAgNews @AUSVEG

@jamiegoode @iMapPESTS @SA_PIRSA @DataEffects @AUSVEG @Tapanappa @wineaus @Hort_Au @theGRDC @sugarresearch @CottonResearch @envirogov @AgriFuturesAU Hi Jamie. We also have collaborators @Rothamsted with @JonathanSWest1 on this project you could reach out to.

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

Happy Christmas @iMapPESTS - @SA_PIRSA @DataEffects @AUSVEG deployed Sentinel 7 @Tapanappa for @wineaus @Hort_Au. Impressive milestone: Six Sentinels across Australia reporting pests and diseases for @theGRDC @sugarresearch @CottonResearch @envirogov @AgriFuturesAU & Forestry 😎

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

@MelGarcia_AUS Thank goodness for that! Enjoy 😉

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

There's a lot of things that suck @MidNorthHRZ .. but that's cause @iMapPESTS are testing spore traps by @christiaan3296 @DPIRDbroadacre @SA_PIRSA with @DataEffects for @theGRDC

[iMapPESTS @iMapPESTS]

We hit a couple of iMapPESTS personal bests today!
@CottonInfoAust's Kieran O'Keefe set up Sentinel 5 in its first ever surveillance trial for @CottonResearch
We'll be keeping an eye out for thrips, mirids, Sclero & others right through until next Autumn 🦟🦗🐞🌱🍂

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

@iMapPESTS Sentinel 1 for @theGRDC @CropWatchSA @MidNorthHRZ reported big peaks in airborne spores of Sclerotinia, Botrytis and Septoria near Giles Corner on Oct 10th https://t.co/8WjlFYoqSJ Monitor for disease with rain showers about next 2 days.

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

@iMapPESTS Sentinel 1 for @theGRDC @MidNorthHRZ found spike in Green Peach Aphid and Russian Wheat Aphid flights around Giles Corner around Oct 6-9th. Select your pest on https://t.co/8WjlFYoqSJ We'll keep #pesttracking for @PestFactsSARDI

Great Job @sugarresearch more #Agtech surveillance kit returning to far north but new @DataEffects @SA_PIRSA automation and optimisation. Thanks for the great collaboration.

[iMapPESTS @iMapPESTS]

Day for it!
Well done to the @sugarresearch crew for deploying Sentinel 6 to their Meringa research station near Cairns yesterday!

No, it's not SpaceX rockets, it more bug catching gear installed @MidNorthHRZ by @iMapPESTS monitoring airborne targets for @theGRDC

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

@MidNorthHRZ Thanks for the opportunity. Looking forward to reporting what we catch! Will post to @iMapPESTS soon

[Rohan Kimber @KimberRohan]

Thanks to @theGRDC @AgrifoodUoA @SA_PIRSA PBA Amberley was years in the making to deliver a high performer for the faba bean industry. I expect it will be a valuable legacy from retired @UniofAdelaide plant breeder Dr Jeff Paull.

[Mark Seymour @marksey77325134]

DPIRD/GRDC HVP Project hyperyield faba bean experiment coming along nicely at Frankland. PBA Amberley holding off chocolate spot and plants responding to high P. Time will tell if our other inputs will pay off.

@ToniPetronaitis @iMapPESTS @s_simpfendorfer @KimberRohan @SA_PIRSA @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY Spore trapping is such a cool concept. fingers crossed you get some cool data!
