How to avoid soil compaction during harvest
With harvest well and truly progressing across the country coupled with recent rain events, this has created challenging conditions for many farmers. These wet conditions and traffic from heavy equipment, can make the soil susceptible to compaction, weakening the soil...
A seed crop defies the drought in north west New South Wales
On the parched ground on the north-west New South Wales farm of Andrew Mullins there is one crop towering above the rest. Key points: Research has shown Indian mustard yields double in a dry year Indian mustard is an oilseed...
What to test and when to help crop nutrition decisions
Lab tests help advisors with fertiliser and soil amendment planning. Without lab tests, crop nutrition can be a ‘best guess’. Returns from fertiliser inputs might not be optimal. Yields could suffer. Soil, plant tissue, and grain testing can guide crop...
Are you losing nitrogen from leaching?
Leaching happens when water containing nutrients moves beyond the rootzone. Nitrate (NO3) is the form of nitrogen (N) most vulnerable to leaching. It is also the preferred form of N for plant uptake which means if N is available to...
Addicted to agriculture from a young age

Hungry crops are more susceptible to frost damage. The best approach is to meet the crop’s nutrition needs. This gives the crop the best overall chance of dealing with stress, including frost. How do nutrients help? Crops develop stronger cell walls when...
Does crop nutrition influence frost risk?
As winter progresses, growers become increasingly aware of the risk of frost damage to crops at varying stages of development. The susceptibility of wheat to frost damage starts rapidly increasing after stem elongation (Zadock Growth Stage 30-39). It does not...
What is the difference between NDVI & NDRE imagery?
Key points: NDVI & NDRE are both methods of determining crop health, constructed from a combination of two distinct frequencies of light NDVI is a great general indicator of crop health, however it isn’t perfect for all crops or for...
