CCDM
Are you wondering what others are up to around the country? How others are dealing with disease, pests, weeds or nutrition right now?
Along with CCDM’s Fran Lopez-Ruiz, join Megan Jones as she speaks to three agronomists and a pathologist, to find out the current issues of the season and the next management strategy to think about. We'll hear from:
- Dan Talyor, DKT Rural Agencies, Central Wheatbelt, WA about powdery mildew in wheat at such an early stage in the season.
- Sam Holmes, Central Ag Solutions, Yorke Peninsula, SA, about septoria tritici blotch, net blotches and ascochyta blight sightings.
- Greg Toomey, Nutrien Elmore, VIC, about the importance of nitrogen application at the moment on the back of two good years, and a good outlook this season.
- Steven Simpfendorfer, Tamworth Agricultural Institute, NSW about the importance of getting the diagnosis of disease correct over nitrogen deficiency.
