The BigRed is a postcard picture variety. Less heads/m than we aimed for but more grains / head - average daily temp during total grain fill days so far is 13.72deg 👌

We'd like to hear from legume growers across Australia about inoculation practice to help us design relevant research. Should take 15 minutes or so; and we'll send out GRDC guides to inoculation to interested participants. Please share/retweet. Thankyou!

Fingers crossed for the success of a potential new way to measure the effectiveness of nitrogen fertiliser inhibitors. This South East site is measuring volatilisation on alkaline soils with 7 different inhibitors @MacKillopGroup
Taking disease spore traps from “concept” to “using in anger”. A network of nine bioscouts setup across the SE along side the Sentinal to see the impact on fungicide management.

EM38 is great to pick light vs. heavy soils types… But still requires a lot of ground truthing to identity different clay types.
That’s why gamma peaked my interest. A current @UnfsNorth project looks at how gamma layers can map clay types.

Unfortunate about the ever-adapting stripe rust, rockstar has been exciting to grow. 584 heads, PTQ 1.51, 800mm reaching 12.4t/ha APW in this patch. Won’t declare number of fungicides 🤦🏻♂️
100% of the helicoverpa population in SE spring sown chickpeas have been ID’ed as armigera (bollworm) so far, not budworm, alpha providing no control.
