Good day out on the Landmark Trial tour for 2019, thanks to @AHRI_Team for taking us through their impressive site & @agro_brad for all the work he does. And lastly
@kentstone85 for suppling the dirt and knowledge.
Great day with @Mike_AHRI. Amazing what you can do with just getting the right seed size, seeding rate and row spacing. Excellent work Mike, will be great to see the numbers at the end of the year.
Planet ticking away nicely at one of @LMKWAagronomy trials in Kendenup. Same units of Nitrogen. Right had 150 units at seeding. Left had 150 units at First node. Keen to see if we end up at similar point.
@LMKWAagronomy trial at Kojonup. Trying to kill the new #TruFlex stacks without using the usual BCFI mixes. Some promising results so far. Photos of XCT canola.
Autonomous plot spraying not too far away.
Rigging up "Gordon" with a boom, tank mounts and solenoids for remote and autonomous spraying.
Now to increase speed...

Investigating the possibilities for scouting and spraying drones in collaboration with Xag. Blanket, spot, and VR spraying with drone swarms. The future is here.
Wheat powdery mildew trial at Munglinup. Looking at Uniform, Intake,Systiva, a range of foliar fungicides and comparing Scepter v DS Pascal. @LMKWAagronomy
Decay of pre em herbicides. Key messages are: pre ems wonโt decay in dry soil, pre ems will decay fast when wet and warm- slower when cold. Trifluralin decays faster than Boxer which is faster than Sakura. Any pre ems exposed to 10 ml, 2-3 weeks ago will have decayed.
Use your OWN yield data to map nutrient removal, and turn that into a variable rate fert rec for #Plant18#Echelon is precision in the palm of your hand, to plan more accurately this autumn
