Technical Bulletin No. 5 – 05.06.25
What's happening:
- Monitoring, seed germination and emergence remain the top priorities for most growers across western Victoria.
- Growers are assessing plant densities of any emerged crops, particularly canola, and adjusting their yield potential expectations.
- After watering germination test areas, some Wimmera growers have elected to re-sow some canola paddocks because less than 5plants/m2 could be found.
- With some rain on the forecast this weekend, growers are taking a positive and prepared approach to potential next steps for crop management, particularly regarding inputs for nutrition, pest and weed control.
- Lamb prices are expected to remain strong through spring.
