Autumn Update: Building Crop Resilience to Protect Yield

Today we are asking how can we build better crop resilience and rooting in forward crops to overcome the changes in variety, susceptibility, and changing weather patterns. To help us with those key questions, we have Agrii's Tim Horton, technical Manager for combinable crops, and Jodie Littleford, technical Manager for combinable crop trials. Summary:

Building Resilience: 

• Strong root systems critical for nutrient and water uptake.
• Use of manganese seed treatments and micronutrients (manganese, zinc).
• Biostimulants like Inoculate (peptide-based elicitor) shown to boost crop health and yield.

Management Tips:

• Monitor crops closely; attention to detail is vital.
• Early fungicide treatments for yellow rust; flexible, non-dogmatic programs.
• Combine chemistry with nutritional and biostimulant support.
