Excited!! GRDC new Sandy Soil mallee site launched! 🚀Main goal - raise yield frontier and sustain it for longer term!
Engineering working with agronomy & genetics across 5 rip/mix setups & 6 input systems. Huge thanks Michael Moodie 🚜 UniSA Mick Farley Therese Mcbeath

Sometimes bigger is better! Acquired a couple of hundred more horsepower and allot more traction for sandy soils research work 🚜 Kenton Porker Therese Mcbeath

Applying lime in the Mallee for a new GRDC South sandy soils project. Acidity in this paddock confirmed with soil diagnosis by Mel Fraser and Veris mapping by Sam Trengove. Treatment strips comparing +\- lime and +\- ripping and spading (+both). Therese Mcbeath Stirling Roberton

Cracking day to take some growers through the Nutrien Ag Solutions Manangatang & Ouyen trial site and Syngenta ANZ Learning Centre. Sites looking great with lots to see!

GIA Metro lentils with Metribuzin applied PSPE and in-crop is doing a good job so far on Spiny Emex. Metro plot also had Intercept applied. GIA Thunder plot with standard Diuron + Simazine IBS + Brodal in crop. Trifluralin applied to both. SouthernPulse GGG GRDC South

Early sowing, subsoil moisture and favourable winter rainfall have provided a great opportunity to test the trade off between pulse crop production and N fixation. Come and see this trial at the goFARM Australia Petro Station Field Day on the 7th of September. Graeme Sandral Rohan Brill
