Sclerotinia rearing its head in Defender CT. We aren’t a massive sclero area historically. Two dry years and dry springs yet here we are. This was early canola on a lentil stubble, wondering if flowering in a below average August was enough to stimulate. Pdk was canola in 22 🤔
Early samira’s which were fortunate to get out the ground end of April. Distinct protection line from Miravis Star applied at canopy closure mid/late August. Newest growth now infected with choccy spot despite dry a September. Canopy clean otherwise. Somewhat eye opening….

Avoca L vs Calibre R. Looking at longer AH types in colder environments to try spread the risk. Early boots split in Calibre, early flags unfurling in Avoca. Genie/Rockstar also in the paddock. Appreciate growers willing to have a look @davemernowie @agtbreeding @KosterBradley
Taking a step back in time today. Long term pasture with minimal chemical use, now set up for continuous cropping. Achieving excellent activity on ryegrass with Intervix. The question is how to prolong the activity for years to come…..
AGT Bunyip IA looking flash after 40mm rain in the back end of August. Won’t be long for a head to start poking. It looks like we may have got some ryegrass suppression with the Aggressor application which is pleasing! @agtbreeding @NickWellsSmith1
Galaxy, LVE and Brom (+fungicide) doing a handy job on group 2 resistant radish, the third crop on a new block. Extremely happy with crop safety. Will get a 2,4D mop up in the near future for new germinations. @DavKee43
AGTB0530 CL/AX barley, set for malt evaluation with Coopers. Not my favourite plant type for our area/the stacked system won’t have a massive fit for us, but interesting to have a play around. We will worry about killing the volunteers next year 😅 @agtbreeding @NickWellsSmith1
Ecopar + MCPA mixes doing a reasonable job on Jacks and other broadies. Pretty soft on the medics to date which is good to see @NickWellsSmith1
Uncomfortable and unexpected levels of early NFNB in late sown Leabrook. Two paddocks with the same history, ones getting smashed (areas worse than the photo), the others are untouched. In general there has been more NFNB floating around then I would have anticipated.
Cabbage is King. Very fortunate to get some canola away after isolated Easter Storms. Defender CT vs PY421C. Both looking fantastic and ready to soak up the sunshine. @CaptainCanola
I have been pretty happy with the job Affinity/MCPA mixes have done this year on heavy volunteer CL canola populations. Minimal crop effect is also pleasing. Will still require a mop up but has certainly taken the pressure off!
Shotgun L vs IGW6895 R - Both up and away considerably better than Calibre in the same paddock. Will be a good comparison come November. On a side note Mateno has done an excellent job in the same paddock. @agtbreeding @InterGrain1
For some reason, no matter how many times I see it, I still get excited seeing dead ryegrass in large volumes under Gly Tolerant canolas. Regiment XC has been a great variety for early vigour and go this season.
Some early thoughts in 2025. High rates of Trifluralin are still an option in some systems to take the early ARG pressure off. Regiment starting to kick on. Starter fert is always important, even after a poor year. Fert bridging at seeding has highlighted this unfortunately

Wheat sown with a disc and grown on 106mm since January before this last rainfall event. Has now had a top up of 40mm to help fill but somewhat phenomenal to be looking as good as it was pre rain. Thinking it possibly tapped into moisture from ‘22 on the back of lentils in ‘23
