- Crop growth seems slow and crops are struggling to grow away from persistent pests like lucerne flea.
- Diseases are starting to be reported and monitored for management plans including Ascochyta, cercospera and powdery mildew.
- Staggered crop growth is likely to cause management issues for a while yet, including windrow timing in canola

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. 9 4.8.2023
- Cereals are at stem elongation, some canola is flowering and pulses are still growing slowly.
- Net form net blotch (NFNB) and Septoria are present in barley and wheat respectively. Fungicide plans are being actioned where risk is greatest. Stripe rust has also been detected in other regions, but this is 2-3 months later than last year in commercial crops.
- Red leather leaf is present in oats and prothioconazole applications are occurring.
- Drier weather has seen the disease threat lessen a little for diseases that like cool wet conditions, but there is still a need to be vigilant.
- Preparation for grain storage is commencing with thought going into grain hygiene and silo bag needs.
