@chelseadahlen Still got the 100mm L Macro?

@CropDoctor54 @WeedSmartAU @DMAg_consultant @agrobaz @grassrootsag @PBoutsalis @peterdnewman Should growers be filling the boom spray with 5 Star bottled Spring Water?

@TrengoveSam @janadixon_ When we get wet Augusts we lose crop comp and the ARG takes over. The Voraxor 200ml treatments are controlling 55-65 plants/m so I was trying calculate the return.

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

@janadixon_ thought you might be interested in this. From a trial SARDI done here. Is this about what you’d expect to find?

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

@janadixon_ Gees Jana I work in the commercial sector we don’t write papers :D if you ever want to refer to it I can prepare it better.

The BigRed is a postcard picture variety. Less heads/m than we aimed for but more grains / head -  average daily temp during total grain fill days so far is 13.72deg 👌

We'd like to hear from legume growers across Australia about inoculation practice to help us design relevant research. Should take 15 minutes or so; and we'll send out GRDC guides to inoculation to interested participants. Please share/retweet. Thankyou!

@BrendanKupke ungrazed PGR free Newton looking a bit flat at the NVT but the grazing off paddocks has been big. Are you getting a lodging score off your site?

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

@todd_venning @Dan_Feder88 @agrobaz @MartinMurray_Ag Yeah the old fly strike powder/liquid is the first thing my parents talk about when discussing how things to used to be.

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

@Dan_Feder88 @agrobaz @MartinMurray_Ag I think there’s a number of practices similar to flagging down crop dusters done in that era, 60 years ago dad used to get inside the grain storage during filling and push the grain to the sides while it was being treated with now discontinued insecticides.

@sabbott02 @lingy_smith Stoddard published a paper on the Limits to Retention of Fertilized Flowers in Faba Beans. TLDR once a flower opens the adjacent leafs have 4 days to acclimate enough radiation from available light. Your beans look crowded and sun blocked by a tall fence 🤷‍♂️

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

@CotherGrant @theGRDC @UniofAdelaide It’s taken decades to perfect our companion cropping strategies allowing vetch to boost bean drymatter whilst setting a tonne of seed.

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

@AshlinRodman43 Yes, and no. The cereals and canola look great at the moment, beans catching up. But our weather stats aren’t great. As usual it all comes down to the spring 🤞

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

Our turn. Rockstar at Naracoorte, no Flut, just been sprayed made it to 32, weather held us up. @PbiCobbitty @Imharidadu @TaraGarrard

[Adam Hancock @Sheldon_Hancock]

@Imharidadu @PbiCobbitty @TaraGarrard @GRDCSouth Certainly wasn’t you Hari must be from @janadixon_’s dirty crops blowing it all south.
