Faba going in at the @DAFFgov Long Term Field Trial at Wagga.

Sowing into barley stubble at a rate of 200 kg/ha, depth of 50 mm, with the tine seeder replacing the disc. Interested to see how the beans perform this year!

Thank you to @AuSeednet for supporting the trial!

Have you got your pulses sorted for sowing?

Sourcing certified seed means your crop starts off on the right foot.

NVT has just updated its Long Term lentil yield tables and given ALB Dane excellent rankings across SA and VIC. https://t.co/LhX7GdWQw8

We have stock available this year for this exciting new lentil. Reach out to lock in your stock.

@lawbal44 @sheepGeekCP if you want to grow a spring milling grain oat variety that has low lignin you have to grow Mitika or Kowari, whereby you are leaving a fair bit of yield on the table, all others are high, except for Koala, at Mod Low it is a good compromise in that respect.

First bit of harvest data coming in for 2025 with a Pulse Variety * Sowing date trial at Caragabal (more or less dry sown). Good to see APB Bondi field peas showing its credentials, could be a handy addition to complement other pulses

Photo taken yesterday, FAR Lentil trial at Yarrawonga, middle strip of the new in 2026 variety “ALB Dane” staying green compared to all the other varieties in the trial, those being, Hallmark, Thunder, Kelpie, Terrier & Lightning.

Lane Seeds Bondi Field Pea seed crops looking good in the Narromine region today.

[Brendan Torpy @BrendanTorpy]

The @AGF_Seeds Newton winter barley seed crop looking a treat in SW Vic even in a challenging season. Have observed great grazing value to meet winter feed gaps plus very competitive grain yields in HRZ with this dual purpose variety @AuSeednet

Dyna-Trit 1143 awnless triticale heads emerging at Wagin following crop germinating early May. Ideal for grazing, hay/silage or grain with clean green leaves and stems. More herbicide options compared to oats. Crops and trials available to see by request ⁦@Dyna_Gro_Seed⁩

New Lentil variety for 2026 “ALB Dane” (ALB2321) at the BCG Main Field Day yesterday. The recent AgVic releases have had a 🐕 naming theme, Kelpie & Terrier, with no real correlation, but not this time, “Great Dane”, big dog & big Lentil.

[David Clegg @clegg1604]

APB Bondi Kaspa type field pea doing well at Quairading,WA. High yielding with improved disease and virus resistance. Improved rating for Boron and salinity. Expecting good seed supply for 2026 plantings ⁦@AuSeednet⁩

[Seednet_au @AuSeednet]

ALB Dane is the NEW Imi-tolerant Large Red Lentil for 2026.
Trialled as ALB2321, it has excellent potential for VIC and SA growers.
Visit trials at spring field days and order seed from Seednet Partners.

@GRDC_NVT would like to announce the release of the NVT results for ALB Dane lentil, bred by @VicGovAg!

For all the NVT results on yield, quality, and disease ratings head to https://t.co/MgSL6FnG7S.

Frustratingly the story of the season..@AGF_Seeds Newton barley seed crop L late establishment on heavier soils and R quicker establishment on lighter soils showing the typical dense tillering of this variety @AuSeednet

[Blakely Paynter @BlakelyPaynter]

Essentially, what this body of @DPIRDbroadacre research suggests (relative to Bannister):
1. Goldie's N fertiliser package is similar,
2. Koala's N fertiliser package is also similar, but avoid > 100 kg N/ha, and
3. Minnie may benefit from slightly more N.

[Blakely Paynter @BlakelyPaynter]

@DPIRDbroadacre has been evaluating the performance of three new milling oat varieties—Goldie, Koala, and Minnie—to see if they respond differently to fertiliser applied N. The link contains my observations from several years of trialling in WA. https://t.co/dkObHguo7M

⚠️ Yorke Peninsula, SA barley growers: Locally collected net form net blotch #NFNB fungus samples have combined resistance to Groups 3, 7 & 11 fungicides. Resistance also detected at Streatham, Vic.

Oat phenology 🌱
We're running an experiment to help understand:
- how early can we sow oats to minimise risk
- if the critical period for spring oats is different to wheat & barley
- simulating grazing to understand the impact on phenology & biomass @AllanRattey

[Seednet_au @AuSeednet]

New Imi-tolerant small red lentil with highest available Ascochyta Blight resistance.
Excellent 2024 yield results across SA Yorke Peninsula and Mid North and VIC Mallee.
