NSW cropping farmers: what proportion of hectares planted will actually be harvested following the recent downpours? I’ll be sharing our results in next weeks crop outlook report. Comment if outside the range. #agchatoz #harvest2022 Rabobank Australia



Tolerances for retaining weather damaged canola seed is extremely small. Any visual symptoms is likely to produce seed with low vigor (& hence poor establishment for next year). Conduct a seed vigor test if you have any doubt. GRDC North @NSWDPI_AGRONOMY


Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We are grateful for these exceptional women in agricultural science that Nicole Baxter has captured in her work for GRDC GroundCover magazine and for FarmLink Research Research. @WomenSciAUST #WomenInScience #WomenInScienceDay

Happy to share that our research "Rapid and High Throughput Hydroponics Phenotyping Method for Evaluating Chickpea Resistance to Phytophthora Root Rot" has been published in Plants MDPI mdpi.com/2223-7747/12/2… Kudos to MMaED Lab team for the designs and analysis ChickpeaBreedingAustralia

Great couple of days hosting Murdoch University researchers. AI has reached pulse breeding! Exciting times ahead! NSW Agronomy will be providing critical field phenotyping data relevant to our growing regions.
