Data collection OWLs fleeing the nest to all corners of the WA wheatbelt for widespread image data collection.
Geraldton - Esperance.
Possible in part due to the generosity of the @AoB_PLANTS award for early career voices.
What happens if we focus on the crop and not the weed with deep learning? See our latest publication

Can wild radish adapt to avoid HWSC?
Two papers led by @Mike_AHRI found that while wild radish can adapt to flower earlier, in-field tests show that this shift is far less than expected at only 12 days 🌾

Next week's AGM guest speaker & UWA @AHRI_Team, Research Officer, @robertexrl, sharing results on the #WaterSmart Dams project: testing water quality for effective spray application. bit.ly/AHRI
We're excited to hear more on Tuesday, as he presents local results.
Just returned from an amazing study tour in South Australia with WA growers and researchers, thanks to the SA Hub's exchange experience. The five-day tour focused on broadacre innovation and provided insights into new approaches to soil and water productivity,…
…unlocking plant potential, and efficient input use.
Highlights of the tour included cropping without glyphosate, germ plasm trials, a demonstration of the Predicta B, herbicide resistance, a visit to Thornby's sheep feedlot, and grower dinners with topical speakers...
We also visited the Plant Accelerator at the University of Adelaide's Waite Campus and attended the Hart Field Day.
Big thanks to @IOA_UWA, @AHRI_Team,@GGA_WA, and @GRDCWest for the opportunity.

Last night, John Gladigau spoke to us about his new venture that he's involved with - iFarmWell - ifarmwell.com.au/. There are many resources these days to help people when they are down (@burgess_ag @BradMillsteed are two fab examples of these resources) - here's another

The AHRI Agronomy team has done extensive work looking at crop competition in hybrid and open-pollinated canola.
Project Lead, Dr Mike Ashworth, discusses the findings on ideal canola seeding rate, variety, row spacing and seed size on the @WeedSmartAU podcast 🎙️⤵️
On the podcast, we talk about the benefits of hybrid canola.
We hear from AHRI Agronomy Lead, Dr Mike Ashworth (@Mike_AHRI), who has done research in this space, as well as Wagga Wagga grower, Michael Molloy, who grows Clearfield canola.

Our Agronomy team investigated the effect of 7 cropping rotations in high-weed-pressure fields over 3 years 🌱
Results show that a single species pasture legume, e.g. serradella, can make a large dent in the annual ryegrass seed bank.
Results so far ➡️ buff.ly/45GMx5y
Thank you to @IOA_UWA and @AHRI_Team for letting me be part of this amazing learning experience. Just as importantly, @GGA_WA and @GRDCWest for organizing and sponsoring the trip 😃
We are off!! Everyone rocked up & everyone had a great dinner together! A week now of learning, innovation & new friendships! SA Study Tour designed to learn more about drought resilience & tools. Follow us here @GGA_WA @GRDCWest #WADroughtHub #FutureDroughtFund #GRDCStudyTour

I’ll be there talking about water quality, come and find us @AHRI_Team
Do you know what to look for when measuring your farm water's pH and turbidity? Ask the @CWSS_UWA @GGA_WA SW WA Hub #watersmart dams & water quality teams at @DowerinFieldDay. Bring a water sample for testing, and test your knowledge to win a YETI esky.
