Has been a great couple of days in Wangaratta and Baranduda checking out the new branches. We finally have had a chance to get down here and have a look around some very nice NE Victoria country

Tillage radish racing out of the ground in our pasture demonstration at Rankins Springs. Looking like it’s going to be producing some good early feed compared to the legume species. @AusWestSPS

746B3F (R) vs one of the new CSD lines CSX3006 (L). Currently tracking similarly at 21 nodes & 9 NAWF. Will be interesting to see the effect on retention for both varieties following a forecasted week of cloudy weather. @csd_cotton

@RiceExtension @GrowerService @BrianDunn1287 Definitely wasn’t stressed, only 2 flushes and filled up mid November. I’m thinking due to the cool conditions early. Many crops seem to be behind the predicted Pi date at the moment

[YPC Agronomy @YPCAgronomy]

Drill sown rice close to Pi yesterday, should be there Monday which is at least 7 days later than the Pi predictor. Will be tissue tested and then VR top dress Tuesday. @RiceExtension @GrowerService

Looking at the benefits of applying S just prior to permanent water. Here adding Gran-am on top of a base rate of Urea. VR zones a combination of several years data collection and Imagery. Walking paddock essential to ensure imagery is representative. ⁦@RiceExtension⁩ ⁦

Moisture probes being installed in this years cotton. An important tool for monitoring soil moisture to ensure we are making correct irrigation decisions

Assessing spread pattern & width of urea prior to flushing dry broadcast Reiziq in Griffith. Optimising spreader performance is a crucial component of growing good quality & high yielding rice. @RiceExtension

Drill sown rice trial looking at different fertiliser products and there effect before second flush.

@soupercocky Drilling in Entec Urea for a second season of trialling slow release nitrogen in drill sown rice following positive results last season.
Kingenta N90 to go in next.

[YPC Agronomy @YPCAgronomy]

@Bencrump12 @agrobaz @RiceExtension No seed treatment on rice. From memory, numbers disappeared last year once permanent water applied.

[Ben crump @Bencrump12]

Gramoxone, stomp, magister timing is too hard and knocks the rice around. I know what is harder. @RiceExtension @YPCAgronomy

[YPC Agronomy @YPCAgronomy]

From where you’d rather be - Malcolm Taylor spraying out Gramoxone/Stomp/Magister after first flush on #rice demo trial site on @Bencrump12 farm. @RiceExtension

[YPC Agronomy @YPCAgronomy]

@farmingfitz @TabbitaFarmCo @ChrisGribble3 No - just diff rates of stomp - but would be good to compare its efficacy/ length of residual control. Any experience with Valor and FTR?

[YPC Agronomy @YPCAgronomy]

Stomping out #FTR grass trial: Pendimethalin @ 0.5, 1 & 2L/Ha and trifluralin @ 1L/Ha both on fallow and along fencelines as a pre em before rain tomorrow @ChrisGribble3

[YPC Agronomy @YPCAgronomy]

@TabbitaFarmCo @ChrisGribble3 Absolutely, cost and timing are always main considerations - but worth seeing what works/ doesn’t work and what options are out there
