@RichardKonzag@TimNeale1@GRDCSouth@RYANKONZAG A symptom of policy failure on many levels. Production agriculture is in real trouble as social structure crumbles. There's serious angst in the grain regions beyond the urban periphery.
@Jarb_Branford I reckon that’s Quena. There’s quite a lot on Central EP. Very damaging to winter crop production. Starane is dynamite on Silver Leaf Nightshade but we find it very weak on Quena. Best control has been from robust Gly with modest Ester and high rates of Triclopyr on fresh plants.
@agrobaz@ajackag13@brill_ag @Kenya_Agron I feel that grain legumes are having a major impact on nutrition other than N. Crop responses are happening that bear little relationship to N availability. We’re N fixated!!!
@freshy1973@DraffinChris Andrew, feed conversion efficiency seems to be a missing metric with sheep breeding values that other animal production enterprises focus better on. What am I missing? It seems hard to address in pasture based, extensive systems.
@Tedthekelpie@Tigerbill172@ipaddockapps@callydupe We get the same response. The effect seems almost permanent. This is about 25 tonnes per hectare of baled chaff being spread onto heavy ground with salt. See how we go.
@andrewpolk7 12 years after EP growers clearly told GRDC that the 25 gram product was not up to the job when numbers are high Andrew, they’ve been proven correct. I have a long memory!!!
