The 2022 Field Days season is about to kick off in regional WA! Tune in to find out what’s in store for this year’s Mingenew Midwest Expo and Dowerin Machinery Field Days. 

In this episode, Billi Marshall, from the Mingenew Midwest Expo Board of Directors, and Danielle Green, Dowerin Machinery Field Days General Manager, catch up with CSBP’s Grey Johnston to discuss all things field days. 

Hear firsthand about how the Field Days help give back to regional communities and some of the challenges that Field Days organisers have overcome over the past 12 months.  

CSBP is thrilled to be back in Mingenew, Dowerin, and Newdegate this year supporting the local community. Drop by the CSBP Community Lounge to catch up with your local CSBP account manager and experience our new-look marquee.  

We’re also looking forward to featuring our grassroots community investment program, and some of the groups we support across regional Western Australia.

In this episode, Miles Ellery, CSBP Agricultural Officer joins CSBP’s Grey Johnston to chat about the insights and results that are starting to come through in our field trials program.

This year, CSBP’s trials program stretches from Yuna in the north to Gibson in the south east, with more than 30 cropping trials and two pasture trials.

These trials will focus on rates to drive production, placement and application strategies to maximise nitrogen use efficiency and manage seasonal risk.

We’ve invested in replicated field research to better understand Western Australian soils and growing conditions for over 100 years. The results help us develop sustainable nutrient management solutions to shape the future of agriculture.

Our field research program tests new products to see how they may improve fertiliser effectiveness. Trials also help us establish nutrient drivers, understand the importance of balanced nutrition, and recognise the impact that fertiliser usage can have on crop and pasture profitability.

Find out how we developed CSBP Detect to supply growers with real-time nitrogen recommendations.

What were the key findings from WA growers in the 2021 CSBP Detect pilot?

How does CSBP Detect work, and how has it been tailored to provide recommendations for WA conditions?

Join Doug Hamilton, Senior Digital Agricultural Specialist, and Grey Johnston as they chat about the five-year journey of CSBP Detect, bringing the world-first plant spectroscopy and machine learning solution to the market.

CSBP Detect was piloted during the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons, with grower feedback and season outcomes demonstrating its value in supporting decision-making. CSBP Detect is subject to global patent applications and is available exclusively to CSBP customers.

Developed on the back of decades of field research, CSBP Detect uses near-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning to deliver nitrogen recommendations tailored to WA conditions

In this hockey-themed episode, Grey Johnston is joined by Hockeyroo Penny Squibb, former Hockeyroo Ashleigh Nelson, and Hockey WA CEO Fabian Ross to talk about the role of hockey in regional Western Australia.

Why is WA such a strong breeding ground for our hockey stars? What’s special about the hockey community in regional WA? How did Ashleigh and Penny go from country towns to the Olympics and the World Cup?

The group also chats about CSBP’s partnership with Hockey WA and the CSBP Hockey festivals that are being held in Narrogin, Bruce Rock, Northam, and Geraldton in June 2022.

In this episode James Easton, CSBP Senior Agronomist joins CSBP’s Grey Johnston to discuss how to identify opportunities with plant sampling.

What circumstances would make plant sampling a good idea, and what opportunities are available this season? How can growers select the most accurate places to sample?  What are the soil trends and deficiencies we are seeing in WA?

Nitrogen investment can be wasted if it is applied in areas where there are other limiting factors and plant sampling can identify better economic opportunities.

Plant analysis monitors nutrient uptake during the early stages of crop growth and can be a useful decision support tool for growers.

Designed to complement soil analysis, NUlogic plant analysis helps determine fertiliser requirements by monitoring nutrient uptake in crops during the season, and provides an accurate measure of trace element status in soils.

Visit csbp-fertilisers.com.au/plant for plant sampling instructions and to learn more about NUlogic Plant Analysis.

In this episode, Account Manager Luigi Moreschi joins Grey Johnston to discuss nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) strategies following soil amelioration, and the results from the CSBP trial at Yuna last year.  

In 2021, we started a long-term trial at Yuna, looking at the long-term effects of N and K rates on ameliorated soils. What results did we see at the trial? What rates of K and N do we need, particularly with the improved yield expectations of these ameliorated paddocks? What are the key findings growers can take away from the trial?   

Listen to the episode to find out!

Listen to Scott Nelson, CSBP Central Sales Support Manager, and our host, Grey Johnston, CSBP Advice, Insight & Marketing Manager, chat about managing nitrogen requirements this season.

What are the key nitrogen decisions WA growers are making right now? What factors could be considered when planning in-season top-up nitrogen and what nutritional tools are available to help growers make decisions?

Hear from Rusty Burke, CSBP Supply Chain Manager and CSBP’s Grey Johnston, Advice, Insight & Marketing Manager (our podcast host), on global factors impacting the urea and Flexi-N market.

What global factors have been impacting Flexi-N and urea prices? How is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine impacting CSBP and WA growers? What should growers be aware of when making top-up nitrogen decisions and what is the outlook for the market moving forward?
