Wheat grain mite has caused damage to a field in #lincolncountywa. This warm, wet winter has these creatures actively feeding in #wheat--and #croprotation could be a major factor. Info at smallgrains.wsu.edu/26mites/ #WAwheat #pnwwheat #wheatmites #wintergrainmite @WSUExtension

Crop rotation shows striking differences in levels of wheat grain mite infestation and crop injury. The field on the left is in a winter wheat-fallow-winter wheat rotation showing significant damage from wheat grain mite. The field on the right follows a winter canola-fallow-winter wheat rotation and shows no damage.

💡 Thought of the day at #IWC2024Perth: we really need to get some sort of wheat trialing network going to formally connect Walla Walla, WA 🇺🇸 & Wagga Wagga, NSW 🇦🇺. What do you reckon @PhenologyisFun? Great overview of the @LimagrainWheat N American program from Dylan Larkin

Maybe one of these seasons I will just order several cases from Amazon, but it sure is fun to go buy up all the brilliant blue spray paint + primer available in Fort Collins every July. Pumping money into the local economy one can at a time. #headrows #wheat
