BCG sowing update

Views

We’ve been very busy between the last sowing update and now. We’ve worked to get trials in the ground, have picked up additional trials on short notice, overcome hurdles that always seem to pop up in busy times with some conditions not being in our favour. We continue to be flexible to complete the program efficiently.

The total trial number is now roughly 150 and BCG has sown approximately 140 at this stage with remaining trials including later sown safflower and the herbicide matrix work which is established for in-season demonstration.

On top of sowing, the team has begun in-season sprays mainly on earlier sown canola and some early assessments. Spreading is front of mind and on the cards for the near future for the team. With things progressing quickly in favourable growing conditions, we are keeping busy when it comes to trial management!
