It's been an unusual year for wetting agent research on non-wetting sandy soils in WA’s southern agricultural region. But as @trial_co's Kylie Lockyer and Steve Penny explain, the wet start to the growing season hasn't put a dampener on the trial's purpose bit.ly/2XXKtIA

Not such ideal weather for harvesting today, but not bad for some sample analysis in the lab hey Kate! #trialco #agresearch #greatsouthern #harvest2021 #peopleofag

Trialing the effectiveness of surfactants youtu.be/soejIR6qFH4 via @YouTube ... have a look at the non wetting soils project we have been undertaking for the last couple of seasons when you get a minute #grdc #nonwettingsoils #agresearch #trialco #greatsouthern

A quick snap shot thread of our deep sowing by herbicide interaction trial at Katanning. Thanks to @trial_co for managing this trial and many others for @agtbreeding.

Good seasons blur wetters’ benefits to our burgeoning non wetting soil issues in WA
With changing climates, use of wetters may be a handy risk-management tool for non-wetting soils. Growers are encouraged to experiment. bit.ly/3DuAJFm

Newdegate grower Steve Thompson is on a mission to find the most effective surfactant strategy for his sandy non-wetting soils.
He’s part of a two-year GRDC investment with TrialCo, testing out a range of popular surfactants and application methods.

Chipping weeds isn't new...
But a new tool gives the age-old chipping hoe approach a modern twist!
Using optical weed detection technology and mechanisation, researchers have created a non-herbicide tactic to tackle herbicide resistant weeds of any size:

Picked a few rocks after spraying yesterday and came across this very friendly little fella.

This trial is one of 5 non wetting soil sites looking at surfactant rates and application methods- the others are in Lake King, Newdegate, Nyabing and Bulyee. Year 2 of the project. Chalk and cheese starts to the seasons huh! #grdc
