World’s longest running experiment. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers enhanced plant growth, promoting the conversion of short-lived “labile” carbon into more stable forms, and increased both the quantity and durability of carbon stored in the soil. https://t.co/uF6kiqfJz0

Excellent straw residue covering with these peas. Using the AI tool to trawl through our data this morning, and it also raised the point that we have used fewer fungicides where we have higher levels of residue too.

Free custom HW & SW dev for Ethernet/IoT devices using WIZnet chips. If you have a working prototype but no hardware team or NRE budget, we co-design and build a small pilot-ready device so you can test the market before mass production.

🚜WA farmers!! Perfect time to use the self-sown labour home from leavers week! Maybe not on Monday!
Looking to collect samples of resistant weeds this harvest, the @resistance_test team provide examples of how to deliver these to the lab for testing.

I was sitting in our annual trials team debrief yesterday, scribbling down notes like a mad man when I sat back and realised how far we have come. 9 years ago we relied on guesswork and anecdotes. This year we are discussing Yellow Rust ratings, fungicide strategies, the trials

Systems focus and systems management, so many #Big6 drivers making the yields add up. #diverse weed management, in it for the #longterm
Diverse Farms @theGRDC Thuddungra site canola harvest completed. Comparing CWCW & FbCWCW rotations in HRZ. 285mm PAW (wet summer) & decile 2 GSR. Crop utilised stored soil moisture for 2.9t/ha = WUE target 10kg/mm. Thanks Chris & @brodenholland for your time & passion.

In case you missed it, GRDC national survey confirmed weed resistance to glyphosate is significantly on the rise, particularly in ryegrass, and using non-herbicide weed management tactics can help to slow the onset of herbicide resistance. https://t.co/mQPCUGlhSY

Really keen to see how this Fumettra can perform next to Robin. It hasn't had the most consistent bushel weight in trials, but you never really get a handle on these things until you put them on a larger scale.

Goldie looked the goods all year compared with Minnie, but both yielded 3.8 t/ha in a decile 3 season (180 mm GSR). Quality data to come @theGRDC
Goldie (L) and Minnie (R) after a dry start to spring, but with nice rain last week to breathe life into the season

Some people make noise on the internet for the sake of noise. But @soren_iverson knows how to make it mean something. This is how the Weird Al of tech turned his absurdity into a world-class design agency. Full episode on YouTube.

Wheat coming off nicely at the @GRDCNorth @CSIRO farming systems site at Iandra near Greenethorpe - now in its 8th year - wheat yields in the range 5.8-8.0 t/ha - remarkable for the season but cool conditions and good stored water and timely rain won the day.
