COVID-19 goal was to run 5kms in 25mins and after 11 weeks training got it down to 24mins from 27:30mins. So very happy with that. Next one is 10kms in 50mins. Will see how I go in 16… https://t.co/4gDUQg3bYC
@rporter_ag Big thanks to Tom from @SyngentaANZ for helping heaps with the sowing and spraying of the Syngenta Learning Centre at Wagga over the last 3 years. Good luck Tom back on the farm at home
Time to check the Faba Beans!
Also there is a new broad spectrum foliar fungicide on the way for Beans
Will be on show at Horsham Learning Centre and other locations.
Contains 2 modes of action, one is a group not currently available as a foliar fungicide in faba beans.
Hotspots of stripe rust spotted in DS Bennet @ Lockhart. Perfect storm...no upfront fungicides, mild, wet conditions & not enough mouths to utilise DM being produced. Bennet rated higher for SR resistance than Illabo & Kittihawk @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY @cropmad@sprayoperator
@SyngentaANZ Wagga Learning centre, looking below the canola canopy in the seedling blackleg trial at the cotyledons you see big differences with the performance of #saltroduo green healthy LHS vs Ilevo RHS on Bonito at 4-5 leaf stage. Untreated has no healthy cots at all.
Some action from the sowing of our pre emergent herhicide #Callisto trials this week at the @SyngentaANZ Wagga Learning centre. A nice good view of the soil throw that we achieve at the site. Thanks @AgXtra for planting and spraying of the trials this week
Cleaning/grading of drought-affected seed to remove small and pinched/shrivelled seed is important in maximising wheat establishment especially with deep sowing into hard-setting soils (averages for seed from four varieties harvested from controlled droughted studies) @theGRDC
