@KendallFarming @newedgemicrobes Impressive results! Strong nodulation is a good start to getting a great finish. @newedgemicrobes we love to see farmers successes.

After a couple of days away it’s great to get back to the lab and see the #seedlings growing and at the optimum point of development for #inoculating with #rhizobia

@CerrfD #pulse #SustainableAgriculture #microbiology

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

Thanks @theGRDC! we look forward to advancing #pulse production and increasing #soil #nitrogen levels through more effective #inoculation tools. It was also great to meet the Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management @deakinresearch @LovePulses

Congratulations to our fabulous @theGRDC science award winner Dr Lee Hudek from @CerrfD! Lee will now develop a seed coating that delivers helpful bacteria to crops, reducing the need for fertiliser.

@CerrfD we’re #exploring #innovative ways to secure future #agriculture production. We’re in #Canberra at the @ABARES outlook conference discussing #SustainableAgriculture solutions to achieve $100billion in farm outputs by 2030 @deakinresearch

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

Our strip trials of @CerrfD #microbial #inoculants coated into #brassica seeds are looking good after 30 days; with potentially less patchiness along the strips. We can’t wait to see get the final plant biomass results #crop_probiotic #pgpb @AgCommunicators

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

Primers targeting fungal pathogens associated with #canola have just arrived; time to hit the lab. Our aim is to develop a robust, rapid and cost effective solution to detect pathogen presence in soils @SmartAgricare @CerrfD @CanolaGrowers @Think_Agri

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

It’s still early days but our @DeakinCeRRF @Deakin #plant groth enhancing #bacteria #inoculant field trails are looking great! Our #pgpb could assist early sown summer crop #germination and growth @AgriEducate @ATMicrobial

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

@LambertBrau @DeakinCeRRF @CeRRF_Griffith @Deakin It’s been great seeing how @IRECNSW offer a scaled cropping system for better developing research towards increasing #cotton production in Australia @DeakinCeRRF @AgriEducate @DeptAgNews @Deakin

@DwanPrice @DeakinCeRRF @AgCommunicators @CropConnect @thelandnews @ATMicrobial Guar gum and xanthan gum are both pretty common stabilisers/binders/adhesives that are water activated. NOTE: My craft tape knowledge and general craft skills are limited.

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

We’re in a sticky mess, but having a great time in the lab today playing with some new “sticker” recipes for more effective delivery of #microbe inoculants to #Crop #plants @DeakinCeRRF @AgCommunicators @CropConnect @thelandnews @ATMicrobial

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

We’re back trying to turn #brickies #sand into #bricks using #bacteria that precipitate #clacite @DeakinCeRRF @MicrobeWorld @SSSA_soils @BuildingNews

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

Today @DeakinCeRRF we were braving the #cold #wet #weather in order to prepare for our next set of #field_trials. We’re screening our #crop #probiotics #PGPR effect on seeds sown in heavy wet soils @thelandnews @SSSA_soils @MicrobeWorld

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

The second step for reducing #waste to #landfill is by #reusing. This is a great example @Lawrwebb

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

It's been a long year of hard work for our @deakinresearch Masters student Nitika Gupta. She's super excited to give her final presentation this afternoon, good luck Nitika.

Day 3 of our @CrawfordFund #capacity_building workshop on #intercropping with #inoculated #legumes was a #feildtrip to some #intercropping trial sites around Hanoi. Today, Day 4 we're back at the @CIAT_Asia labs identifying #microbes using #molecular techniques @DeakinCeRRF

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

Day 2 of our @CrawfordFund Benefits of #intercropping with #microbe #inoculated #legumes we're in the @CIAT_Asia labs covering isolation and quantification of #microbes in #Soil and in commercial #biofertilizers and #bacterial_inoculants @DeakinCeRRF @agfacts_101

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

It's great to be in #Hanoi #VIETNAM running a @CrawfordFund #capacity_building workshop around the benefits of #intercropping with #bacteria #inoculated #legumes follow us on our quest for #global #sustainable #agriculture @DeakinCeRRF @MicrobeWorld @agfacts_101 @sustainableag

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

It's always exciting to open a suitcase full of treats and toys (in the form of plastic ware, pipettes and all the consumables required for a spontaneous #microbiology lab

[Waj Web @WZA_Razor]

The @DeakinCeRRF #Lab in a backpack arrived safely and with only one minor spill of #shampoo to deal with.

@LeeHudek @atieno_m

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

@ShankMasaldan @MicrobeWorld @DeakinCeRRF We just got a new BBQ too

[Lee Hudek @LeeHudek]

Sometimes #microbiology techniques involve getting #creative doing #artsandcrafts. Making lots of discs for screening #peptides for #antimicrobial activity @MicrobeWorld @DeakinCeRRF
