@SAGrainTrust @louiseflohr @GrainProducerSA Great work @louiseflohr !

@patrickway11 Looking good Patto 👍

@grassrootsag @robbert115 I was wondering the same thing, but perhaps it’s because only 2/3 of the rate of saflufenacil was applied as Voraxor and the trifludimoxazin hasn’t been able to pick up the slack? Label rates would be very interesting.

@JamesConsi @SipcamAus Wow. Is that fleabane James?

Now detecting populations of strobilurin resistant Septoria tritici in all four corners of my patch.

[Peter Boutsalis @PBoutsalis]

Fleabane from SA cropping paddock survived 4L/ha paraquat! Other cases being tested. Dead plants = our susceptible standard killed with same rate. ⁦@DMAg_consultant⁩ ⁦@agrobaz⁩

@ZetifiOfficial @TimNeale1 Good news. Do you have any info you can send about the new version?

[Angus Calder @GusCalder]

@TimNeale1 @ZetifiOfficial Thanks Tim, I was just curious. Sounds like it’s working well 👍

Might be of interest to those running with low rates of P from “more efficient”products on high calcium, high pH soils on the SYP.. Tread carefully!

[Premium Ag @PremiumAg]

#Phosphorus nutrition reminder...

It works.

But its response can take years to recognize! These check strips took 3 years to show significant detriment on low P, calcium loaded, basic pH, irrigated soil. Year 4 was >50% yield loss.

@AGlazbrook Good work Gus 👍

[Chris Davey @CropDoctor54]

Good ol’ FTR has taken no time at all to get established after the last fortnight’s rains.
Still mainly a problem on roadsides for YP, I first started seeing it in paddocks in early 2022 here
I’ll expect a lot more in-paddock for summer 2023-24, so be proactive with control guys!

Looking for seed cleaner recommendations please.
*Mainly for cleaning lentils post harvest.
*Bonus if we can do cereals too.
*Double bonus if we can clean round snails out of canola/barley.
What are the “must haves” on a cleaner?

[Rohan Brill @brill_ag]

Didn’t realise lentils could be so competitive, good lentil seed on the left versus low vigour seed on the right. Simazine and reflex applied IBS at Caragabal @theGRDC pulse site

[Angus Calder @GusCalder]

@kingswaywelding Great work Nick 👍

[Matt Dennis @Matt_EADennis]

Well that’s one to remember… started reaping lentils yesterday on the 13th of September 😬 earliest start to date.
And today would mark the earliest we have had to stop from harvest due to fire danger index. 🤔 FDI peeking at 75 today….

#asktwitter #AgTwitter Has anyone recently converted an @ausplow Multistream to ISO-bus? Currently running Trimble field IQ. ISO good/bad? Cost?
