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...

Herbicide resistance occurs most commonly in continuously cropped grain production fields. • Grass weeds with resistance to pre-emergent herbicides (Groups D and J) and broadleaf weeds with resistance to Group I herbicides are emerging problems that will test growers’ management skills. • Attempting to introduce three effective control practices in...

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...

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...

Peat slurry inoculants applied to seed perform consistently well; other formulations can also provide good nodulation, but outcomes are dependent on the carrier and sowing conditions. There is little data on the survival of rhizobia in different formulations when dry sown. Some of the first data for rhizobial survival under dry sowing conditions in...

Timing of windrowing of canola can have a huge impact on profitability through its influence on yield and oil%. Profit could be reduced by up to $50/day for every day that crops are windrowed before they are ready. The window for windrowing on time is relatively small. Direct heading of canola is a viable and comparable alternative to well-timed wi...

Increasing incidence of brome grass in cropping paddocks in southern Australia appears to be associated with selection of biotypes with greater seed dormancy by crop management practices used by growers. Higher levels of seed dormancy allow brome to germinate and establish after pre-sowing weed management, resulting in greater in-crop weed establis...

The area sown to pulses in South Australia (SA) and Victoria (VIC) continued to increase, particularly lentils and chickpeas and in Mallee regions in response to highly profitable crops in 2016. Similar to previous seasons, the lentil variety, PBA Jumbo2A performed extremely well in 2017, highlighting its yield stability across a range of regions a...
