๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพWhat do growers gain from #Nuseed CAT trials? @NigelRoutledge says, "The Nuseed CAT program allowed us to see canola trials on a grower scale rather than small plots. We're able to treat it as a pure farmer demo with the same fertiliser & sprays as the rest of the paddock."

Just in case those involved in AFL scheduling are visual learners. I have highlighted an issue but added a very complicated solution.

Playing around with @Imtrade new product Guerilla. For those that have used Para-Trooper in the past, it is that on steroids! Will do assessments at 7, 14 and 21 DAA. Keen to see the results especially with the Glyphosate situation at the moment ๐Ÿ‘€ @DavidGrayAglink @spraytec_aus
