A great outcome from @theGRDC investment developing a tool for 🇦🇺wheat, barley & canola growers! #phenologyisfun
A flowering calculator app to help decisions with sowing time and cultivar selection is coming for canola, wheat and barley, how exciting! Thanks to Jeremy Whish and colleagues @CSIRO for consolidating 10 years of research into a useful industry tool! #Agronomy24 🌼🌾

This @CSIRO #Wheatcast national wheat yield forecast for the 2024 season is based on data to 1 Oct. Median expectation for 2024 is down to 2.06 t/ha. It's still 13% above the long term average. The map shows expected median water-limited yields. For more: research.csiro.au/digiscape/…

This @CSIRO #Wheatcast national wheat yield forecast for 2024 is based on data to 1 Sept. Median yield expectation is 2.29 t/ha. An above average national yield is 'locked in'.
The map shows the variability of expected water-limited yields.

NEW VIDEO: 4 key tips when considering #deepsowing this season 🌾
1. Use larger seed where possible
2. Know the viability and germination % of your seed
3. Be mindful of seed dressings & pre-em herbicides
4. Consider your soil type

Typical canola oil has a 2:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. In contrast, Nutriterra DHA Canola oil has a ratio of 1:4, meaning it has four times as much omega-3 as it does omega-6. Read our blog to learn more about a healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3.

Demand for omega-3 oils is growing and wild fish are not reproducing fast enough. New omega-3 oil sources are needed to prevent a supply gap. Nuseed developed the world's first DHA canola to help fill this gap and reduce pressure on marine resources. "bit.ly/3QMnp7m
