Are you sowing enough canola seeds? Here’s some results derived from an @theGRDC project that could help adjust seeding rates (kg/ha) based on small, medium or large seed size. Hope it helps.

Great day with @Mel_Fraser1 this week. Diagnosing constraints on underperforming sands and designing strategies to treat the identified issues.

I am concerned about the level of paraquat resistant fleabane I am finding on the Adelaide Plains..note the green plants amongst the brown.. 150lt/ha water and 3lt paraquat hasn’t touched these.

[Peter Boutsalis @PBoutsalis]

Fleabane from SA cropping paddock survived 4L/ha paraquat! Other cases being tested. Dead plants = our susceptible standard killed with same rate. ⁦@DMAg_consultant⁩ ⁦@agrobaz⁩

Ryegrass loving the 5 inches of January rainfall in Quambatook, VIC 🤕

[Pat Conlan @PatrickConlan97]

Medic germinating in January, ryegrass germinating in December, and an El Niño that just keeps on raining. A summer full of surprises. What’s next?

Due to a tree obstruction, this client opted for a drone to optimise their coverage and overall weed control using Basagran + MCPA. It’s exciting having tools like this available for our rice crops. @EldersLimited @ricegrowers @RiceExtension @GrowerService @GrahamPage01
