With and without amistat xtra headwash. Light and day with colour but will see if it translates to yield. @todd_venning @_Darcy_king @funky_farmer @PineHillsa

No amistar Xtra at headwash sure stands out after a couple of showers, a 300-500kg yield increase from the application in parts of the paddock that weren't water limited, but no change in parts that were water limited. However 1% more protein wherever there was amistar applied.

Crown rot starting to show in some paddocks with tight rotations and subsoil issues. Great way to pick a couple of paddocks for some soil pits or ripping trials also.

Seeing dead heads this year? It might be crown rot. Check the stem bases for browning to confirm. Find out more about management and identification at buff.ly/44X3PdK #crownrot #PREDICTAB @GRDCsouth @Imharidadu @VicGovGrains

#Cruiser seed treatment doing the job. Increased solubility and lower KoC make Cruiser more bioavailable under a wider range of environmental conditions – at Aratula, Queensland
Insecticide treated and not treated barley seed. Look at the difference from Russian wheat aphid. Really shows the value of putting insecticide on seed.

Miravis star (green section) on diamond canola (a sucker for sclero). This fungicide has some amazing stay green properties, even in a decile 1 spring this will be a big yield difference. Other varieties seem unaffected. @SynCerealsANZ @gwxr496

Severe Ascochyta causing stem breakages in Hallmark lentils at Beulah. Culturing to confirm. Stem breakages = yield loss from our experience in other crops. 4-5 node stage. Fungicides low risk solution here with more rain forecast.

Calibre wheat @agtbreeding fell over prior to harvest last year, made harvesting it tricky. Variety trait or just terrible winds? @HaydnKuchel Having a go at strengthening up the stem this yr with @SyngentaANZ Moddus Evo. Header driver will thank me! – at Verran, South Australia
