ARIA: Arable Research in Action

Feature placeholder

30214-FAR-ARIA-2013-RGB-logo

FAR Arable Research Site
State Highway 1, Chertsey
11.00am – 4.00pm
Wednesday 4 December

After two high profile and externally sponsored CROPS events, FAR is returning to a focus on FAR research and trials for its major outdoor South Island field event this year.

Arable Research in Action, or ARIA, is being held at the FAR’s Chertsey Arable Research Site on the first Wednesday in December. It will feature 12 talks on topics covering a range of crops and cropping issues. Each talk will be presented twice, once before lunch and once after lunch (download programme from bottom of this page). Lunch will be provided and there will be a chance to have a drink and a chat with presenters and grower and industry attendees at the end of the day.

International speaker
While the majority of those presenting will be FAR staff, a key exception is Lise Nistrup Jørgenson, a Senior Scientist in the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University in Denmark. Lise has 30 years’ experience in working on disease management, disease forecasting, fungicide efficacy and fungicide resistance in cereal crops, grass seed, sugar beet and maize. She is particularly interested in optimizing and minimizing fungicide use in cereals. Another guest speaker will be Craig Tregurtha from Plant & Food Research who will cover the subject of effluent use on cropping farms.

FAR’s Director of Research and Extension, Nick Poole, says a month out from the event, all trial plots are coming along nicely, but that a couple of talks will be especially visual.

“The glyphosate resistance talk will focus on different headland management strategies, with some clear difference showing between the different treatments. The stubble management demonstration will also focus very much on the visual component, although we will stop short of actually setting it on fire! I am very pleased that Don Geddes, Principal Rural Fire Officer for the Ashburton District has agreed to co-present this session which will touch on the findings of the Stubble Burning Review recently carried out by FAR on behalf of Environment Canterbury.”

We are looking forward ARIA and hope to see you there.

Farm-saved seed royalty system

Farmers who save and replant legally protected cereal varieties can voluntarily declare their usage and pay a breeder royalty. The declaration system applies to all farm saved seed barley, and to farmer saved wheat if the resultant wheat crop does not pass through an end-point royalty collection agent.
