Plant health monitor
Dry conditions and the end of the active horticultural growing season mean that problems due to pathogen and pest damage have decreased in importance. The exception is pasture pest damage and warnings issued in previous Plant Health Monitors are still relevant. The final edition of the Plant Health Monitor for this season will be issued at the end of March. The AgPhone service will continue. The following topics are available this week
Current AgPhone topics (ring 66-887); sampling for Purina, ill thrift in lambs and hoggets, control of potato tuber moth, control of insect pests on lucerne and lotus seed crops, fungus levels and Argentine stem weevil damage to pasture, Nysius problems in export berry fruit, seed treatment of brassica seed to control damping off, prevention of bacterial blight on peas, control of trace element deficiencies and parasitism in lambs, treatment of lucerne leaf spot, and late blight and leaf roll in potatoes.
