🫘HAPPY INTERNATIONAL PULSE DAY🫘
GOA has done some cool pulse research recently with Rohan Brill & @theGRDC.
🌿Faba beans won for yield & net N fixed.
🌿N fixed from biomass amt, with ~33 kg N/ha fixed/ t of above ground biomass.
More info⬇️

👍Get the good oil on summer spraying using Pulse Width Modulation from GOA's own deputy chair, Andrew Freeth.
...the GOA board prides itself on having skin in the game!
@adfreeth@GRDCNorth@MaurieStreet@bennyob
Want to maximise the benefits of summer spraying using Pulse Width Modulation? @adfreeth explains why you should aim for your duty cycle to be 70% or higher at the lowest expected speed.
