Moist summer conditions have supported strong volunteer canola growth, which may encourage high green peach aphid numbers this season. Eliminate green bridge volunteers at least 2 weeks before sowing winter crops to minimise the risk of virus & aphids.

GPA+TuYV are most damaging to canola early in the season when virus-carrying GPA migrate from volunteer canola or brassica weeds. Going to spray green bridge out? Try and do it >2 weeks before sowing canola. Monitor crops early! DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC West

This is such an exciting GRDC project in the works, focusing on improving knowledge, surveillance, modelling and optimisation of natural enemies for canola growers 🐞🌼 Partners: CSIRO DPIRDWA Murdoch University NSW DPI PIRSA

When did you plant sorghum this summer? Late planting can be more susceptible to Rutherglen bugs, which are increasing in numbers in Liverpool and Moree Plains. If your sorghum is in the soft dough stage, check for RGBs!

While Rutherglen Bug has long been considered a pest of sunflowers, it's now moving into other summer crops and very little is known about its ecology. Watch now ▶️ bit.ly/41ny6m1

We are working closely with the Tweed Shire Council and the National Program that is led by Queensland, to implement our fire ant plan by focusing on tracing, surveillance and educating local businesses and the community. More information brnw.ch/21wEQHJ

In a hurry few days before rain.

Spilt a little bit of clethodim on my jeans. Didn't realise it, nor that it dripped down into my right sock... stayed on for 5 hours.

Gott in himmel - that right foot and leg are hurting now, and ugly swelling.

Due to the increased population of Rutherglen bug 🪳 in canola stubble in the northern region, closely monitor their numbers in summer crop, if you were able to plant this season.

Varroa now at the border in the location of the biggest bee migration in Australia. The Sunraysia.

🪲Russian wheat aphid is confirmed north of Narrabri in low numbers. Please note: spraying low population will kill beneficials. 🧐Monitor your cereals for presence of rolled leaves with yellow strips.

Want to be a part of our crown rot project? Steven Simpfendorfer and I are conducting a grower & agronomist survey alongside some intensive trials and stubble sampling (see video!). Will take less than 6 mins, follow this link 👇forms.office.com/r/dfabKif9EM

📢 Russian wheat aphid has been observed in NSW & in some nw VIC grains.
To learn where they’ve been reported & about @GRDC’s FITE strategy, read our latest PestFacts article 👉 buff.ly/3DO0keA

Russian wheat aphid🪲 is back in northern NSW after 4 years. Monitor paddocks🧐 for signs of RWA, such as leaf rolling along the margins, with white-yellowish-purplish strips. For management info grdc.com.au/resources-and-…

Meet Mukti Chalise, a NSW DPI TO working at #Tamworth with the entomology team.
He's looking at how long & how effective seed dressings are on the emerging 'badie', the faba bean aphid 🪲🪲🪲
Way to go Mukti 👏👏👏
