EM38 over the #CQ #NorthernFarmingSystems trial. Image 1: 28th March, Image 2 taken today looking at profile down to approx. 60 cm. Scale the same for both images (50 (red) - 150 (blue) Cv) Can you pick where the early barley & our early sown test strips are planted..?

If we deep sow, where does the fertiliser go? New experiment at Waikerie in 2023. New GRDC long coleoptile project.

Great to have ⁦Greg Rebetzke⁩ on-site in #CQ inspecting one of our national ⁦⁦GRDC⁩ Long Coleoptile Project trials in QLD. Tos 1 (25 DAS) and flying & Tos 2 (5 DAS) with job to do, at the DAF CQSCC. Magenta 13 pictured, deep sown with 10cm of soil over the seed.

60 Days after sowing in the IWM system, Nothing to see here…😉 Felicity Harris #northernfarmingsystems

#Northernfarmingsystems... Sunprime planted April 12, flowering done and dusted, no frost damage, about 40% of profile PAW left in the tank and a month or so of cool, mild #CQ weather to fill in before things start heating up again from early to mid August.

QLD Long Coleloptile Trials powering along in #CQ Can you pick deep (10 cm of soil over seed) from shallow (3-4 cm over seed) in TOS 1 photos? TOS 1 planted 27 April, TOS 2 planted 17 May. Full profile @ planting, no rainfall on site post planting. Greg Rebetzke @DAFQld GRDC North

Meanwhile down under.... I think we have our camera shy culprit! Joe Eyre

I guess the fact it’s on twitter now makes #harvest23 official? 25mm in crop rainfall for the season, test plot average was just shy of 3t/ha. #northernfarmingsystems GRDC North @DAFQld #cq

Nothing amazing, but yielded better than expected given the very tough season. 3 sowing date strips co-located with the Emerald #northernfarmingsystems trial. #CQ

Plenty to unpack in this graph for all the crop nutrition guru's out there. Just a tiny taste of what is in store for the GRDC North CQ update meetings focusing on the #Northernfarmingsystems trial at the end of November. @DAFQld

Coming in November. the #CQ #GRDCUpdates will look at CQ farming systems data with speakers Lindsay Bell Lindsay Bell Darren Aisthorpe Doug Sands, David Lester and local agros. They will be a great few days. Details: bit.ly/3IfWfl5

Great paper. Pulses are n hungry in the north

Another warm start for the 2024 #longcoleoptilewheat trials in CQ. Soil temps at depth @ 25 deg and soil strength of even the lightest press wheel settings testing deep and shallow sown lines alike. Photo shows two Magenta 13 seeds side x side, only one found the exit.

Southern QLD #Longcoleoptilewheat being finalised for #plant24. Four trials onsite - Core Met Trial, Seed Size, Press wheel down pressure & Seed treatment effect. Range of LCW and conventional lines with approx. 40 or 100 mm of soil over the seed. GRDC North Greg Rebetzke @DAFQld

Field fluctuation in chickpea or yet another game changing response to deep placement of P & K ? #CQ #RGB #NDVI #Thermal #Riskwise @DAFQLD GRDC North Josh Bell

#CQ #northernfarmingsystems trial at Emerald. High Fertility system (50 cm row spacing) vs Intergrated Weed Management (25 cm row spacing) planted to AGT Leverage 12/04/24. Any guesses on which will yield higher? @DAFQld GRDC North

My last harvest for the #CQ Northern Farming Systems trial in Emerald. Hard to believe it has been 10 years! It has provided some fabulous insights into the system effects of crop choice, nutrition, plant available water, sowing date and so much more. GRDC North @DAFQld

Pulling up pegs as a @DAFQld senior research agronomist after 10 years and almost 17 with the department. Time for a break and a change. Big thanks to all the amazing researchers, technicians and growers I have worked with and learnt so much from over that time. GRDC North

Our services have now expanded to include spray drone capability. Excited to take delivery of a DJI AGRAS T50 for replicated plots, test strips, or commercial application. Building on our mapping / monitoring services. #ausag #CQ
