Budworm are being found in canola and pulses. If spraying, be mindful of chemical witholding periods before harvest ℹ️ Read #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest👉bit.ly/pestfactsWAoct… 📸 @christiaan3296
🌾 In the latest #GrainsConvo! 🌾 📊 DPIRD research shows foliar phosphorus boosts 🌾 wheat yields, especially in soils with high phosphorus buffering. 🌱 Early applications are key for better crop yields in phosphorus-deficient areas. Read more 👉 agric.wa.gov.au/newsletters/gr…
Diamondback moth caterpillars and other less common caterpillar pests are being found in WA canola crops. Growers, check your crops now! #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest agric.wa.gov.au/newsletters/pe…
Important to determine if poor growth in patches is caused by soilborne diseases such as rhizoctonia and take-all, and/or root lesion nematode species
WA growers noticing poor patches in their crops this season should diagnose and confirm the issue. This will help put the right management plan in place for 2025 #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest agric.wa.gov.au/newsletters/pe…
DPIRD, GRDC and BioScout's new project is trialing SporeScout units to boost disease detection in WA crops. With 20 units across the grainbelt capturing and counting disease spores, growers can view the findings online #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest agric.wa.gov.au/newsletters/pe…

Our field trials are showing great visuals of how damaging lupin Sclerotinia can be. It was good to have field walks to share our research results to date. Very thankful for growers who host our trials and for our DPIRD Field Research Operations team @DPIRDbroadacre @GRDCWest
🎬 NEW VIDEO Incidences of the spot form net blotch in barley crops across WA’s low rainfall zone have been increasing, so with GRDC investment, researchers from @DPIRDbroadacre are helping growers with the best management options. Watch it now ▶️ youtube.com/watch?v=yejQxF……
Great turnout at MIG sandplain field day & opportunity to share some of the key research results from our 4 year lupin Sclerotinia project. Really valuable that the lupin growers impacted by the disease are involved in conducting the research @DPIRDbroadacre @GroupMIG @GRDCWest
BYMV spread by aphids is more common than usual in Geraldton port zone this year…causes lupins to look pale and yellowing, and stem or branches can have a characteristic shepherds crook appearance. Pods turn black. See PestFacts WA for more
Bean yellow mosaic virus found in narrow leaf lupins at Geraldton and Moonyoonooka. Botrytis grey mould is also being found in narrow leaf lupins Geraldton and in chickpeas at Northam. #PestFactsWA @GRDCWest agric.wa.gov.au/newsletters/pe…
On Wed arvo I’ll be speaking at MIG Sandplain field day on managing Sclerotinia in lupins &our research results. Found this year in many dense lupin crops sown on paddocks with sclero history. Register at shorturl.at/M3rTN @DPIRDbroadacre @GroupMIG
Unfortunately the soft finish to the season we were hoping for in the northern grain belt hasn’t eventuated. This week Geraldton pz is going to be dry and have many days >25 deg C which will limit spread of wheat powdery mildew and Sclerotinia in canola and lupin @DPIRDbroadacre
So far this spring @DPIRDbroadacre rain to date map, Pemberton 70 mm, Bencubbin 0.6 mm. Some frost, Bonnie Rock (-1.6C) and Kulin both have 4 nights below 2C so far. Higher temps, Ridley North 32.7, Yuna NE 31.8. Northampton forecast 32C this Saturday. #climate

Turnip yellows virus infection levels in 23 canola crops. Testing done at ~early flowering (between 9th July to 23rd August) because TuYV can have significant seed yield and quality impact when transmission occurs prior to flowering @DPIRDbroadacre @GRDCWest #NationalVirusProject
How to spot basal Sclero in lupins. Majority of cases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum =rat poop size sclerotia on stem at ground level. Wilting plants stand out. S. minor is less common =mice poop size sclerotia. Report to PestFactsWA @DPIRDbroadacre @GRDCWest
If you missed our webinar on Monday you can now watch it at your leisure. Includes the Spring weather outlook and what foliar crop diseases to watch out for in WA
