@MillieBrady99 Are you seeing consistent results from SE14 on sands in your patch?

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

@damon_fleay Thanks Damon! Will reach out tomorrow

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

Chasing photos or diagrams of small liquid systems people have put onto seeders, to trial liquids on a small number of tynes?
Anything appreciated

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

@DirectSeeding Very neat, thanks

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

@BidstrupJames @cam_ritchie1 @DirectSeeding @damon_fleay Thanks James, looks fairly simple. How did you go calibrating it?

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

@TristanClarke20 @damon_fleay Thanks, will flick him a message!

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

@cam_ritchie1 @DirectSeeding @BidstrupJames Thanks, will follow it up

@luckyimalad @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley Reckon we could source a Gleaner?

Final week of measurements for our oats biomass trial. We harvested biomass samples today which will be dried and weighed. There seemed to be a difference across each nitrogen treatment, variety and biomass. @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley

@luckyimalad @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @AJenko12 @DarcyCobley Bit green for the 8800, might need the Massey if you’re free ?

@luckyimalad @RyleeUSA2022 Debatable topic, potentially a person who likes taking risks each time they drive

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

Week 8 measurements of our oats biomass trial. Difference between varieties is easily seen. Single nitrogen application seems to look better than the split application in plot 1. @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag @DarcyCobley @JoelTheGinger @AJenko12 @AHagboom

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

Week 6 measurements of our oats biomass trial. Applied the remaining 30 units to the split nitrogen treatment. Plenty of snails within the plots, along with lots of clover within one of the two plots. @AJenko12 @AHagboom @DarcyCobley @JoelTheGinger @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

@luckyimalad @AJenko12 @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @DarcyCobley @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ Not sure how uni will feel about the preferred control method… See you here later?

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

Week 5 of measurements of our oats experiment. Can clearly see different nitrogen treatments within each plot. Looking to apply the final nitrogen treatments next week. @AJenko12 @JoelTheGinger @AHagboom @DarcyCobley @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

Week 4 measurements of our oats biomass trial. Different Nitrogen treatments becoming obvious within the plots. Potential potassium deficiency is still evident. Still monitoring for pests and disease. @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AHagboom @AJenko12 @Bec_Swift_ @SJB_Ag

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

Week 3 measurements of our oats biomass experiment for our ADV Cropping unit. Starting to see disease and potential potassium deficiency in some areas of the plots. Otherwise, coming along nicely! @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ @AHagboom @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AJenko12

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

@luckyimalad @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AJenko12 @AHagboom @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_ Yeah bud, impressed with spread pattern, was having a few issues with section control but we got it sorted

[Hennie Botha @henniebotha130]

Week 2 measurements of our oats biomass experiment for our ADV Cropping unit. Spread our first nitrogen application, 80 units on treatment 1 and 50 units on treatment 2 (split application). Plants at GS21-26. @JoelTheGinger @DarcyCobley @AJenko12 @AHagboom @SJB_Ag @Bec_Swift_
