This summer has seen high numbers of fall armyworm (FAW) across Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

In this episode, Nick Poole from FAR Australia gives an insight into the disease and the new research development and extension surrounding it.

In this episode, we speak with three of the lead consultants from Outlook Ag – Mitch Cuell in Narrabri, Greg Giblett on the Liverpool Plains, and Greg Rummery in the Northwest.

Ten years ago, a green bridge became infested with Green Peach Aphids and then transmitted Turnip Yellows Virus, causing infection in germinating canola seedlings which led to significant damage.

In this episode, Associate Professor Fran Lopez talks about the importance of rotating fungicides to minimise the risk of fungicide resistance developing in your paddocks.

In this episode, we talk to Mark Richards from NSW DPI, and grower Andrew Lord about the new 5cm rule for testing soil pH.

University of Southern Queensland’s Centre for Crop Health Director Professor Levente Kiss talks about the challenges of managing powdery mildew in mung bean crops.

In this episode, Debra Bishop catches up with engineer Peter Nunn from Nufab to discuss all things ripping.

Until now, there have been very few cases of resistance to fungicide in rusts. However, recent research has shown insensitivity in the barley and wheat leaf rust pathogens to Group 3 DMI fungicides.

In this episode, we chat with Mathew Dunn about his research, as well as GRDC Grower Relations Manager Graeme Sandral about why Mathew was such a worthy recipient.

In this episode, we catch up with Luke Dawson, GRDC's Grower Relations Manager, after a constructive and spirited NGN Forum at Nyabing in WA's south-eastern Wheatbelt.

In this episode, we speak with some of the experts involved in the project and hear about getting the most out of your sandy soils. 

An estimated 250,000 hectares of those six million have been ameliorated, typically involving strategic one-off deep tillage.

A GRDC investment focused on grower decision making for summer spraying has revealed several insights into the behaviours that motivate different spray decisions.

In this episode, we hear from Dr Hazel Parry, a research scientist with CSIRO and leader of this project, about this native bug that seems to have a taste for the exotic.

The experiments, using organic ameliorates such as hay, stubble straw, and manure, monitored effects of amelioration on crop growth and yield with results varying across trial sites.

The trial site features 48 varieties starting from the late 60s, up to the most recent varieties of two to three years ago, including bread wheat, Clearfield-tolerant wheat, and udon wheat varieties.

In this episode of GRDC In Conversation, David talks about life growing up on his family’s grain and cattle property west of Goondiwindi.

In this episode, we hear from GRDC's Grain Storage Extension team members, Ben White and Alex Conway on a detailed rundown and timing for that all-important annual silo maintenance checklist.

In this GRDC In Conversation episode with Oli Le Lievre, Paul discusses his work as an industry development agronomist and how the grains industry has changed over the years.

In this episode, we chat with Grain Storage Extension Project lead Chris Warrick, along with Alex Conway about the significant safety around phosphine.

In this GRDC In Conversation episode with Oli Le Lievre, Mark discusses the family’s farming operation, the intellectual and physical challenges of farming, and the balance of technology, tradition, and innovation in agriculture.

In this four-part series we will hear from a range of breeders – across seven crop types – and each one will provide information on newly commercialised cultivars in the NVT program that will be available to growers for the first time in the upcoming season.

From cone and flat-bottomed silos, to sheds, bunkers, bags, and pits, grain storage options today are seemingly endless.
