Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Hand mower did a great job! Soil borne symptoms present. Weeds under control & plots nice and squared up. Bring on harvest...

In the pit and amongst the trials at Yarrabin chatting crop rotation, buried seeds, nematode diseases, and managing gravel constraints #DPIRDWilliams

[GRDC West @GRDCWest]

Rounding out day 3 of the @GRDCWest Spring Panel Tour with a visit to the @DPIRDbroadacre Soils Field Day in Williams. Insightful discussions on amelioration, soil borne disease and crop rotations. Thanks to all the presenters and host @mdfowler100

Mouldboard plough 🤔 Great for annual ryegrass control, not so good for great brome control. Learn more about weeds and soil amelioration at our Williams Field Day on Sept 14 @GRDCWest https://t.co/jXKkW6bWkW

What style of deep soil amelioration reduces root lesion nematode and #rhizoctonia root rot levels in the topsoil? If you’re looking to increase the productivity of your gravel soils, don’t miss our Williams Field Day on 14 Sept @GRDCWest https://t.co/jXKkW6sZmW

It's that time of year again for the broadacre disease training course, 2 days of jam packed information. @DPIRDbroadacre, @DPIRD,

[Sarah Collins @sarah_nematodes]

Learning is never done! Exchanged ideas, learnt about great new research and caught up with colleagues and friends. Soilborne diseases are the bomb! Much to share from @ASDS2022 in Cairns. #nematodes #plantpathology @DPIRDbroadacre

Cutting-edge findings on amelioration of gravel soils will be revealed at the Williams Success for Gravel Soils Field Day on 14 Sep. If you’ve been struggling with rhizoctonia, nematode pests & weed control, register now 👉 https://t.co/jXKkW6bovo @GRDCWest @CompassAgAu @aaac_wa

Latest @DPIRDbroadacre rainfall to date map 1-14 August - will more rain in the next 3 days. Morawa has 34 mm (average for August) and is expected (via @Windycom) to receive 37 mm in the next 3 days. Both SSF and @BOM_WA ACCESS model didn't forecast a wet August #climate

My lastest publication is out.

I have a Chapter in a new book "Applied Environmental Metabolomics: Community Insights and Guidance from the Field".

Our case study describes how to do #soil #metabolomics, what went wrong & right, plus recommendations.

@poleycat Great! I'll be sure to give this a close read

[Catherine @borgercatherine]

How many people does it take to renovate? It’s been really hard for @SteveDsoilsciWA to get these discs to the right depth in this heavier soil. @DPIRDbroadacre

[Catherine @borgercatherine]

Deep ripped to 30-40 cm. The surface weed seeds were buried, but only about 5-10% of the weed seeds will be buried at depth. There will be high emergence this year - great opportunity to use delayed sowing and a knockdown to run down the seedbank. ⁦@DPIRDbroadacre⁩

Great honour for our research to be picked by the editor of @PhytopathologyJ! Follow the link below to read more about it!
