Technical Bulletin No. 15 – 24.10.25
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. 8 – 17.07.25
What's happening:
- Recent rains have lifted spirits, helping to consolidate crop growth and encourage timely urea applications.
- Wind damage in light soils has led to patchy canola losses and re-sowing with cereals in parts of the Wimmera.
- Staggered crop emergence remains a theme although some regions are reporting more uniform growth.

Technical Bulletin No. 2 – 24.04.25
What's happening:
- Some modest rainfall tallies received across western Victoria last weekend with hopes for more rain on ANZAC day
- Generally, growers have continued with their original sowing plans and made small modifications if required
- Conscious of high reliance on IMI tolerant crops in rotations, some Mallee farmers have made varietal changes eg CoAXium® barley to make use of Group 1 herbicides for grass control, where residues from the prior crop allow.
