• Know the water limited yield potential and target the soil constraints to crop water-use: Assessing the yield gap relative to expected gains and seasonal risks, alongside identifying the key soil constraints, are important in developing an amelioration plan with cost effective outcomes. • Yield responses to physical disruption are common but not...

• Highest yields for winter wheats come from early to late April establishment. • Highest yields of winter wheats sown early are similar to Scepter sown in its optimal window. • Slower developing spring varieties are not suited to pre-April 20 sowing. • Different winter wheats are required for different environments. • Flowering time cannot be ma...

• Select a grain storage option that provides flexibility to meet market requirements. • The only silos suitable for fumigation are gas-tight (meeting AS2628-2010), pressure tested. • Hygiene and monitoring are keys to maintaining grain quality in storage. • Aeration is an effective tool worthy of consideration – best paired with an automated cont...

• Well planned and implemented precision agriculture (PA) helps capture farm profit and conversely, poorly planned and implemented PA can erode farm profit. • The recipe for profitable PA adoption will be different for each farm business. • PA information sourced from outside the farm business informs what’s possible, while information from inside ...

• Resistance to post-emergent herbicides is present in annual ryegrass, brome grass and barley grass populations on the northern Eyre Peninsula. • Control of barley grass with pre-emergent herbicides is more difficult in low rainfall zones due to the low solubility of the herbicides and the patchy nature of rainfall events. • Getting better control...
