Technical Bulletin No.5 9.6.2023
- Sowing is wrapping up across the region.
- Urea was going out before rain this week.
- Weed management in early-established canola is largely complete, with remaining crop types to occur in the next couple of weeks.
- Establishment is patchy and is driven by cover/moisture. This rain will hopefully even establishment.
