Stress in not the problem, the problem is lack of recovery. Advisers will benefit from setting firm boundaries with their clients. Implementing ‘Go, Slow and No Zones’ may assist in boosting performance and preventing adrenal fatigue....

Mouse numbers are currently moderate across most regions of southern New South Wales (NSW), South Australia (SA) and northwest Victoria (VIC). There is potential for economic damage at sowing in 2018. • Current efforts to monitor mice are not sufficient to detect variations in mouse abundance between and within cropping regions. Growers need to sta...

Matching the supply of nitrogen (N) with crop demand is critical to optimising nutrient use and profitability of grain production. Defining the ability of a soil to deliver available N both prior to and within the grain growing season is required to help optimise N fertiliser application rates. • The amount of N delivered to crops from soil will be...

Across a wide sowing date range and variable seasonal weather conditions, mid-season maturing wheat varieties were generally the highest yielding in 2017. • Scepter (Australian Hard (AH)), Beckom (AH), Mace (AH), Longreach Havoc (AH) and Trojan (Australian Premium White (APW)) were the highest yielding varieties across 2017 South Australian (SA) wh...

Insecticide resistance issues continue to outpace novel control options. • Redlegged earth mite (RLEM): o Resistance in RLEM has been detected for the first time in eastern Australia. o Synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) are completely ineffective against SP-resistant RLEM populations, while some efficacy remains for organophosphates (OPs) against OP-res...

Increasing herbicide resistance, together with no new modes of herbicide action, are contributing to a ‘perfect storm’ in grain growers’ ongoing battle against weeds. • The aim is to develop weed-competitive wheats to integrate with new and existing integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, thereby adding another option to the grower’s weed cont...

In 2017, blackleg leaf infection and resultant crown canker severity was low due to dry conditions in May and June during early seedling growth. Susceptible cultivars still had some level of disease but were well protected by fungicides applied at sowing which were highly effective due to the lower disease pressure. Application of foliar fungicides...

HyTTec® Trophy, InVigor T® 4510, Pioneer® 43Y92, Pioneer® 44Y90 and Nuseed Quartz all performed well in SA National Variety Trial (NVT) canola trials in 2017. Time of sowing experiments demonstrated benefits from matching sowing date to variety phenology with canola. Optimal start of flowering time for canola provides a target range for flowering t...

Over nine seasons at Minnipa (2008 to 2016), incorporating livestock into the rotation improved overall system outcomes in this broadacre trial, including; increased nitrogen (N) cycling and water use efficiency (WUE), reduction in weed and pest populations and no negative effects on cereal performance or soil health, while value adding to stubble ...
