ALT Discussing seeder disturbance footprint data to date
ALT 6 trials over 2 years show that the surface soil disturbance footprint of hybrid disc seeders comes reliably close to that of tyne seeders.
ALT Reviewing pre-emergence herbicide impacts on lentil crop performance
ALT Left: Severe impact of Rhizoctonia bare patch in lentil crop at the onset of flowering; Right: Inspecting rhizo-affected lentil root systems.
ALT Machinery discussions focussed on technology awareness and efficiency principles, complemented by detailed information in the form of factsheets (https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/resources/sandy-soils)
ALT Deep ripping, inclusion ripping and delving tine technologies display and posters in support of the machinery focussed session (more info: https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/resources/sandy-soils)
