Just some of the challenges seen in my travels today. Sclero, rust hot spots, septoria and canola at 20% bloom 😬.

Are there any wick wiper gurus out there who have experience cleaning up troublesome weeds such as slender thistle & Dock in clover dominant pastures? Including herb and legume pastures. ⁦⁩ ⁦@NutrienSthEast⁩ ⁦@NufarmAustralia ⁩ Retweets appreciated

Quite noticeable how the Aquadulce beans are picking up more disease at moment than newer varieties. Ascochyta blight and cercospera. Could be some choc spot too... – at Victoria, Australia

Haha sorry comparing to faba’s...Amberley very clean
I’m hoping that’s just from urea overlap. Had pgr 2 weeks ago #Accroc plenty of yield potential #moreN

Leaf rust in DS Bennett wheat and Septoria in it too. Not surprised. Rancona seed trt on this certified bulk up seed is offering little for these diseases. Z30 now Will prob need 3 foliar fungicides on this sucker to maintain yield pot – at Victoria, Australia

A bit early for flowers on y93CL for my liking but then again it was out the ground 17th April. That’s about a month earlier than last year... – at Victoria, Australia

Winter feed for spring lambing mob coming along well. Been first year since 2017 that season has allowed us to plant early to get this wedge of dm #opportunisticfeedcropping

RGT Accroc winter #wheat certainly picked up the pace in last week, Z37 and oozing yield potential

Canola block at home on the slide in places due to wet stress..after what was our best strike in years. Ave yield taken a big hit now given the damage patches of no yield do 😤🙄 #iwantperfection #moresurveying
