Technical Bulletin No. 13 – 25.09.25
What's happening:
- Insect activity is increasing under favourable conditions, though few cases have reached economic thresholds for control.
- Low levels of stripe rust are being detected across Western Victoria, however growers with robust programs that included fungicide at sowing are reporting little to no evidence of foliar disease.
- Low GSR deciles, frosts in early September and favourable prices have growers considering cutting crops for hay instead of harvesting for grain.
- Preparations for harvest are underway.

Technical Bulletin No. 9 – 31.07.25
What's happening:
- Welcome rainfall tallies of around 30mm were received across much of the region over the weekend.
- Consideration is being given to cutting cereal crops for hay due to strong prices.
- Regular paddock inspections to assess crop and weed growth and for pest activity and disease.
- Data from long term soil moisture sites indicates infiltration ranging from 20 to 60cm depending on soil type and rainfall. Without follow up rain, crops are likely to continue to use shallower moisture reserves.
