Huge few weeks for Grassroots Agronomy finalising fantastic grower/advisor partnerships.CSIRO team working with Charlie French & Daniel Sweeney at Burcher site. PredictaB, 0-2m & 5cm pH cores combine with Eva Moffitt EM & pad scale grid map to characterise site. Canola sown into moist soil😊
Absolutely Agree JS!
Exciting NEW On-Farm paddock scale component being developed as part of Phase 3 of GRDC Farming Systems Project in collaboration with Grassroots Agronomy, regional grower/advisor partnerships, CSIRO & NSW DPI Agronomy. Broadening grower-industry collaboration
OUT NOW: Autumn 2024 edition of the blackleg management guide with the latest info to help you manage canola to reduce blackleg infection & identify high-risk situations where practices need to change to reduce or prevent yield loss.
