Key soilborne diseases are estimated to cause Australian grain growers more than $500 million per annum. Which is why Blake Gontar (@SA_PIRSA) and @CropDoctor54 are reminding the audience at the #GRDCUpdates Adelaide how important Predicta B testing is.

Spent a night under the stars with the family last night.
A couple of astronomy Qβs:
1) what are the βgreenβ satellites that follow the same orbit every minute or so?
2) what is the large red star, low on the E horizon (a planet maybe?)? π€π€ #agsky

Good Q John.
The set answer may vary from region to region?
A minimum of 3 in my opinion.
I do feel there are hidden yield limitations through root diseases that we arenβt picking up in a close rotation. π€

As I inspect more paddocks for summer weeds, the Lentil stubbles are painting a picture of some key take home messages:
1) closer rotations = a LOT more weeds
2) it DOES matter what you use for crop-topping; and
3) DFF plays an important role in thistle control
