Yet to be disappointed by an Ultro job this season. Any escapes have severely compromised root systems. Exy up front spend but well worth every dollar to take the immense pressure off cleth/factor. Plenty of long term seed banks rearing their ugly heads! @Adama_AU

Pleasantly surprised by the job Atrazine/Terbyne are doing on ARG this year. Superior control IBS, some in furrow escapes. Where applied PSPE lesser control overall but has certainly taken the colour and vigour out of early grass. Good moisture ✅ Control ⬆️ All smiles 😀

Welcoming slugs to the 2026 party, a nice indication of the presence of decent moisture. Having a fair crack in lentils. Paddock was smashed in 2023 after a wet 2022 across non traditional areas. Damage isolated to more traditional areas at this stage. @PestFactsSARDI

A nice morning putting out IBS treatments for ARG control. Having a look at splits and mixtures to assess bang for buck. Hopefully get back to do the PSPE treatments before the big wet 🤞Propyzamide, Ultro, Terrain Flow and Sakura all in the mix.

Yellow Header > PCT > Ops Centre > VR MAP down the tube. Good fert history and soils allow it to be done confidently. A reallocation across the block resulting in about 1500kg of fert left in the truck compared to a blanket application🤞now for the true break to come!

Sclerotinia rearing its head in Defender CT. We aren’t a massive sclero area historically. Two dry years and dry springs yet here we are. This was early canola on a lentil stubble, wondering if flowering in a below average August was enough to stimulate. Pdk was canola in 22 🤔

Early samira’s which were fortunate to get out the ground end of April. Distinct protection line from Miravis Star applied at canopy closure mid/late August. Newest growth now infected with choccy spot despite dry a September. Canopy clean otherwise. Somewhat eye opening….

Avoca L vs Calibre R. Looking at longer AH types in colder environments to try spread the risk. Early boots split in Calibre, early flags unfurling in Avoca. Genie/Rockstar also in the paddock. Appreciate growers willing to have a look @davemernowie @agtbreeding @KosterBradley

Taking a step back in time today. Long term pasture with minimal chemical use, now set up for continuous cropping. Achieving excellent activity on ryegrass with Intervix. The question is how to prolong the activity for years to come…..

AGT Bunyip IA looking flash after 40mm rain in the back end of August. Won’t be long for a head to start poking. It looks like we may have got some ryegrass suppression with the Aggressor application which is pleasing! @agtbreeding @NickWellsSmith1

Galaxy, LVE and Brom ( fungicide) doing a handy job on group 2 resistant radish, the third crop on a new block. Extremely happy with crop safety. Will get a 2,4D mop up in the near future for new germinations. @DavKee43

AGTB0530 CL/AX barley, set for malt evaluation with Coopers. Not my favourite plant type for our area/the stacked system won’t have a massive fit for us, but interesting to have a play around. We will worry about killing the volunteers next year 😅 @agtbreeding @NickWellsSmith1

Ecopar MCPA mixes doing a reasonable job on Jacks and other broadies. Pretty soft on the medics to date which is good to see @NickWellsSmith1

Uncomfortable and unexpected levels of early NFNB in late sown Leabrook. Two paddocks with the same history, ones getting smashed (areas worse than the photo), the others are untouched. In general there has been more NFNB floating around then I would have anticipated.

Cabbage is King. Very fortunate to get some canola away after isolated Easter Storms. Defender CT vs PY421C. Both looking fantastic and ready to soak up the sunshine. @CaptainCanola

I have been pretty happy with the job Affinity/MCPA mixes have done this year on heavy volunteer CL canola populations. Minimal crop effect is also pleasing. Will still require a mop up but has certainly taken the pressure off!

Shotgun L vs IGW6895 R - Both up and away considerably better than Calibre in the same paddock. Will be a good comparison come November. On a side note Mateno has done an excellent job in the same paddock. @agtbreeding @InterGrain1
