Who doesn’t love a January summer sunrise? Our AGnVET precision ag team are busy getting around playing catch-up after the season that kept on giving. Chat to your agro to see what your pH, CEC, P, K, S is at, ground truth and map in house for variable rate applications!

Highlighting the importance of checking grain colour not pod colour in canola this year for windrow timing!! Make sure you check the bottom of the main stems first!! Ask your IKC agronomist if you have any questions #agpack #ikcaldwell

We had a great day out on Friday at the Western Murray IKC Crop Crawl looking at and discussing a range of different topics including… 🌱 Disc vs Tyne Machines 🌱 Rotational break crops 🌱 High yielding irrigated winter crops 🌱 Rotations to combat herbicide resistant weeds 1/2 – at New South Wales, Australia

INOCULATION OF LEGUMES!! Who can spot where there has been a block? The occasional airseeder blockage such as this one here can be a good thing as it highlights the importance of inoculating legumes in acidic soils…. Obvious biomass difference in this situation! – at New South Wales, Australia

#cropwalkwednesday SE of Deniliquin today with Moama agronomist Annabel O’Dea getting ready for a grass spray and fungicide application in Faba Beans!

Tackling Glyphosate resistant ryegrass in RR canola with a 2 spray approach in crop and it’s working an absolute treat! Are you starting to find an increasing amount of Glyphosate resistant ryegrass on your farm? If so chat to an IKC agronomist to come up with a plan of attack! – at Moama, New South Wales

#cropwalkwednesday at Mathoura NSW this week devising a plan to grow a 5t/ha Roundup Ready canola crop under a lateral! Who thinks we can do it and who can tell us which of the 16 elements are the most important to apply to reach our 5t/ha goal? – at Mathoura, New South Wales

Shorter season varieties may yield lower than the longer season varieties by 1-2t/ha, however, the shorter maturity gives a greater chance for a harvest without high moisture issues and the opportunity to double crop. Great discussion to have with your local IKC agronomist! 🌽
