    Fertiliser storage dos and don’ts

    When it comes to storing fertiliser on-farm, small mistakes can turn into big problems. In this GRDC podcast, Grain Storage Extension Team member, Ben White shares practical advice on the dos and don’ts of fertiliser storage. From choosing quality product and limiting handling, through to managing moisture and avoiding dangerous silo blockages. He also highlights the safety risks growers need to be aware of, and where to find trusted resources to help with planning ahead.  Contact: Ben White  Grain Storage Extension Team   ben@storedgrain.com.au    More Information:   GRDC publication Investing in fertiliser storage infrastructure, authors Cussons Media and Fertiliser Australia   Project Investment Codes:  CMP2202-001SAX PRB2412-001SAX  Learn more about your ad choices.

  4. Soil health in Australia

    16 THG 9

    Soil health in Australia

    No matter what crop you grow, or livestock you run, the soil beneath your boots is the foundation of your farm's productivity, profitability, and long-term sustainability. And while soil has always been a cornerstone for grain growers, there's never been a consistent way to define, measure, monitor, or report on soil health in Australia. That's why GRDC has invested in the development of a national Soil Health Framework to close this gap and give growers the tools they need to manage soil more effectively. The work is being led by CSIRO in collaboration with a network of research partners. To find out more, this podcast features project lead, CSIRO's Dr Mark Farrell, Dr Stirling Roberton, who is a research scientist, also at CSIRO, and from the University of Western Australia, Emeritus Professor Lynette Abbott.   Contacts: Dr Mark Farrell  Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO  Mark.farrell@csiro.au   Dr Stirling Roberton  Research Scientist, CSIRO  Stirling.Roberton@csiro.au    Lynette Abbott  Emeritus Professor, University of Western Australia  lynette.abbott@uwa.edu.au    More Information: National Blueprint to standardise soil health across Australian agriculture Development of a soil health framework for Australian agricultural production systems Project Investment Code: CSP2504-015RTX  Learn more about your ad choices.

  5. Different angles on re-ripping: There is no right or wrong

    9 THG 9

    Different angles on re-ripping: There is no right or wrong

    Growers around the Eradu area of Western Australia's northern growing region have been deep ripping for many years. Now they're going back and re-ripping for a second, third, fourth, and even fifth time with different machinery as it has progressed over the years. It's all about getting highly alkaline surface soil down deeper in the profile to address subsoil acidity, and at the same time, managing compaction to greater depths. This episode features Craig Topham from Agrarian Management and is part of a five-part GRDC series looking at managing soil constraints in Western Australia. Craig has three clients in the Eradu area, all aiming to achieve the same result, but doing it with different machinery and varied approaches.  *A note for listeners. This podcast does not cover all products in the market.

  6. Managing WPM fungicide resistance in the west

    2 THG 9

    Managing WPM fungicide resistance in the west

    Fungicide resistance is a serious threat to cropping. When all available registered fungicides are no longer effective at managing disease, options for widespread disease control become limited, and the result is high yield losses. So, when a gateway mutation, the first step toward fungicide resistance in wheat powdery mildew (WPM), was detected in samples collected in Western Australia, alarm bells went off. In this episode we speak to Andrea Hills, research scientist with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development in Western Australia, about what growers can do to help.  This podcast is a part of the Australian Fungicide Resistance Extension Network (AFREN).  Contact: Andrea Hills  Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development  Andrea.hills@dpird.wa.gov.au   More  Information: Potential for fungicide resistance detected in Experance wheat powdery mildew   Project Investment Code: CUR2302-002RTX Learn more about your ad choices.

    Pre-harvest prep: Protecting stored grain

    Don't wait until harvest to consider how you are going to protect your stored grain. That's the message from GRDC's stored grain extension team. When it comes to grain storage, the more you invest in pre-harvest preparation, the better the outcome. This episode features Chris Warrick from the Stored Grain Extension Team who talks about the most important strategies to implement.   Contact: Chris Warrick Stored Grain Storage Extension Team chris@storedgrain.com.au    More  Information: 2024 Webinar - Pre-harvest grain storage health check   2024 story - Give grain storage a pre-harest health check 1800 WEEVIL Stored Grain Phosphine best management practices     Project Investment Code: PRB2412-001SAX Learn more about your ad choices.
