25.01.2022 For all of us in SA who may have been giving our Vic friends a bit of grief - Oops! The tide has turned....... Fingers crossed this is sorted quickly.

25.01.2022 Happy 'Global Fertilizer Day'!! Improved productivity comes from a range of management practices such as plant variety improvements, pest and disease control and nutrient management. It is estimated that at least 30 to 50 percent of the crop yield is attributable to modern fertilizer nutrient inputs. To find out more, read The Contribution of Commercial Fertilizer Nutrients to Food Production published in the Agronomy Journal.

23.01.2022 GRDC have some very interesting on-line events happening in the next week - and most of them at no charge. Maybe worth an hour or so of your time to join one or two of interest

22.01.2022 Noel and Lisa Squires have shared some thoughts from life in lockdown in the greater Melbourne area - daily temperature checks for all staff and a constant supply of face masks and hand sanitizer "Although we haven’t seen any hindrance to our work it has made us more aware of how important the work we do is. Finally there’s a benefit to working alone, ideal isolation compliance."

22.01.2022 Happy 70th birthday WA member, Larry Marchant - celebrated with family and friends recently. Loving the picture that depicts his time in the fertiliser industry - since 1974 Photos: David Holdsworth

22.01.2022 When crop nutrition consultant Ron Norton addressed the 2020 GRDC Adelaide Grains Research Update, he told delegates it was unusual to discuss Potassium and Sul...fur together as they are very different in terms of their soil and plant chemistry. However, in particular situations, deficiencies of these two important nutrients is increasing and that's reason for greater awareness being necessary. Update Paper: https://bit.ly/2D60UZ9

01.01.2022 While much of SA has received good rains, spare a thought for those in the north and mallee who have missed out. With crops coming out of the boot already with half the head dead, the spring rain was just too late (Drought damaged heads on right hand and normal on left hand side of picture.)
