Greg Rummery says north-west NSW is a highly variable but far-from-marginal cropping region. Businesses that understand and anticipate variability are in a good position to take advantage of favourable seasons.

Mitch Allen @NufarmAustralia chats knockdowns on the latest pod: why ammonium sulfate is a non-negotiable with glyphosate, what drives the success of paraquat + group 14 mixes, and why more products in the tank isn't always the answer!

Check out Andrew McFadyen’s Big 6 case study. A typical mixed farming system in the Lake Cargelligo area includes a 3+year cropping phase, often with the final year oats being undersown with lucerne, to begin a 3+year pasture phase.

Great trial by @bensmith213 yesterday on managing vol CL canola in lentils using multiple herbicide timings and MOAs.

A robust pre-em + PSPE strategy did the heavy lifting. Post-em Brodal was the icing on top, not something to rely on solely.

UQ research showed glyphosate resistance in some seed-derived plants, but plants that had regenerated from rhizomes were difficult to control with glyphosate, explaining the expansion of this weed in no-till farming systems. 📷 L Kebaso, UQ

Greg Rummery says no-till farming, stubble retention and a zero tolerance of weeds in fallow have expanded the typical ‘bucket size’ in the Walgett area from 180 mm to 240 mm of water-holding capacity. 📷 Outlook Ag

We know soil amelioration is amazing on dry years. Looks like it is on wet years also.
Further evidence that a healthy crop is a competitive crop too - barely a weed in the delved Barley strips, whereas the weeds, mainly Capeweed, dominated in the untreated.
