Helpful tips on estimating the yield of your fodder beet crop
Estimating Fodder Beet Yield
Fodder Beet – Sowing & Management Recommendations
Fodder beet is a demanding crop but if managed properly can be extremely high yielding. Attention to detail in preparation prior to, during and following sowing is critical to ensure good results.
Lucerne Flea Control
Have you noticed Lucerne Flea in your pasture and crops this season? It’s characterised by ‘springing up’ in the air when pasture or crops are disturbed.
Seed Certification
Crops and resultant seed must pass specific standards at the field (growing) stage and laboratory (processed) stage. Growers of ‘certified seed’ must have their farms and individual paddocks mapped and registered with the scheme.
Seed Storage
The stability and survival of endophyte within seed lots is affected by many storage variables, including humidity, temperature and age, and like germination ability, can degrade over time.
