  20. Caution over back to back pulses

    Growers are urged to show caution before planting back to back pulses because of disease risks.

  21. Doing the Sums

    It's the time of the year when farmers assess their financial performance. We talk to a specialist in farm accounting.

  22. Variety Checks Increase

    An increased number of random checks on grain variety declarations will take place this harvest.

  34. The business of farming

    GRDC has released a comprehensive manual called Farming the Business which is now available through the iTunes store.

  35. Mixing Chemicals

    Research is showing herbicide resistance can be delayed more effectively by mixing chemicals at full rates than simply rotating chemicals.

  36. Herbicide Resistance

    A major herbicide resistance project has come to an end. What were the lessons learned? Program runs 4 mins 57 secs

  37. Paraquat - the Shady Herbicide

    Researchers have discovered that spraying the herbicide, paraquat, in the evening delivers a better result.
