Milk thistle, big canopy and subsoil moisture makes these lentils a good pick for double knock desiccation. It will dry everything down for harvest and help stop weed seed set.
Not yet go-time though. Waiting for seeds to split, not squish, between your fingers 馃憣馃徏

Five weeks of dry conditions at grain fill was enough to bring out crown rot symptoms in wheat, even after decent rain up until Sept (Mid North, SA).
Caught me by surprise, but fewer white heads and severely pinched grains than in drier years. No Victrato.
I don鈥檛 think results have been published yet, Trengove Consulting are running it. It鈥檚 a GRDC NGN project, unsure of timeline
@bensmith213 would have the details, but imagine it would be a straight CL canola. I took away that the best treatments this year (control and safety) had Reflex pre-em fb either metribuzin or diuron PSPE. The issue for many will then be the Reflex plantback in a stacked rotation
Great trial by @bensmith213 yesterday on managing vol CL canola in lentils using multiple herbicide timings and MOAs.
A robust pre-em + PSPE strategy did the heavy lifting. Post-em Brodal was the icing on top, not something to rely on solely.
