- In the Mallee, insecticides are being applied and, in some parts, a second grass spray application on pulses to clean up any late germinations.
- Nitrogen (N) applications have stalled awaiting a strong forecast of rain which would likely see growers spreading again.
- The Wimmera is focused on broadleaf weed management, insect control and fungicide applications.
- Some are starting to notice effects of moisture stress around tree lines.
- In many areas the potential is there, but further rainfall is required.
