The importance of good water quality for good spray results. Maurie Street from GOA has a chat about the importance of water quality and spraying:-Do you know the quality of your water source for spraying?-What impact is it having on your spray job?-What can you do to if you have sub optimal water? AND you don&apos;t always need adjuvants!

Maurie Street chats to us about canola phosphorus placement.Based on 22 trials since 2015 have shown that modifying starter P placements can: <ul><li>Avoiding establishment losses whilst maintaining yields </li><li>Achieve more reliable and predictable establishments </li><li>By ‘SPLITTING’ starter fertilisers growers can   </li><li>Spread fertiliser in less busy periods  </li><li>Reduce fertiliser handling at sowing   </li><li>Streamline sowing operations  </li><li>Risk management strategy- dry sowing etc </li></ul>
