The last of the plots for the new DPIRD&GRDC HiRES project are in the ground at Kendenup. Thanks to @Stirlings2Coast crew for doing such a great job. Looking forward to better understanding rotation options in the HRZ

[Stacey Power @StaceyHansch]

Exciting to see the first plots in the ground for our new HiRES project: assessing rotation options for the high rainfall zone. Kendenup site will be sown next week.

GRDC/DPIRD HiRES experiment at Gibson underway. Canola emerging, vetch thinking about it and faba bean being sown today. Excellent start to the season

@Steph_DPIRD @DPIRDbroadacre @GRDCWest Awesome footage Steph. It's amazing what you can see from the air that just isn't apparent at ground level!

GRDC Impact ✨

A three-year project was launched in 2019 with GRDC investment to develop best bet agronomic packages for growing high value pulses in WA.

We've been very busy updating our crop sowing guide with lots of new information. Respond to the survey below to make sure we get the guide to you in the way that is most useful

How would you like to receive this year’s Crop Sowing Guide 🤔 @GGA_WA

[Stacey Power @StaceyHansch]

@nig_michael We've only tried the double rate of peat directly on seed. Close as possible to seed will always give better nodulation. Rhizobia are acid-sensitive, so unfortunately injecting with fertiliser will limit their survival regardless of soil pH

[Stacey Power @StaceyHansch]

@nig_michael Also, Reflex is registered on faba beans bother pre-seeding and PSPE. Up to 12 weeks of radish control. Post-emergent options are very limited, so suggest a strong knockdown or another crop choice if weeds are a major issue

[Stacey Power @StaceyHansch]

@nig_michael Faba beans are more forgiving than other pulses when it comes to soil texture. They prefer to be wet rather than dry, so sandy soil in a drier year might make it difficult for them. DPIRD research has shown good nodulation results using a double rate of peat if pH is a bit iffy.

[Stacey Power @StaceyHansch]

Great radish control is available to pulse growers. Registered for use in chickpeas, lupins, field peas, faba beans and vetch

[Roberto Busi @robbert115]

No resistance Reflex at 750ml/ha rate in our 80 samples of WA wild radish. Spectacular activity and efficacy.

[Stacey Power @StaceyHansch]

@floyds63 @alosca_com Will miss seeing you around the traps Floyd. Thanks for being so invested in pulse production. Good luck in the next phase 🙂

[Stacey Power @StaceyHansch]
