      Anything we dug out is just fine
      Not seeing much of a rhizosphere there
      I can see remnants of the seed treatment colour so it appears you're applying a fungicide seed treatment therefore working against yourself compromising the mycorrhizal development. Have a look at this taken earlier today. Bare seed treated with multi species beneficial bacteria and fungi.

        We use 1/2 rate seed treatment with a Crop Aid seed treatment nutrient that includes kelp and bacteria as well . Don’t need to be lectured on seed treatments. I know , phasing them out when we can after we get the soil back in shape .
        I will dig plants properly and show roots nice a washed too lol.
        Nice root system there, is that on your farm ? What kind of soil ? How much moisture to date ?
        Is that from you friends farm ?

          Fertilizer salts not friendly in cool dry springs …

            This is from a demonstration site east of Tambellup. Several 20 hectare plots with a few different things happening. Sown may 24th into good conditions, approx 50 mm in may and 65 mm rain in June.Few sprinkles in July with 5 to 10 mm coming tomorrow. Soil is a classic duplex in this region, gravelly loam with sandier areas over clay at variable depths. pH about 5.3 and 2% organic carbon.

              A very smart guy once pointed out that it took thousands of years for seed coats to evolve giving them the best chance to survive and reproduce.

              But we can make that better by coating them with nice shiny colored polymers to keep whatever must be applied to greatly enhance survivability.

                Canola side by side , planter and drill . Moisture stress showing


                Planter at 2.3 lbs left , drill at 5.5 lbs right , same variety.

                Kinda hard to tell from pictures but the 5.5 lbs is now blasting top flowers and has smaller pods .

                  Planter


                  Drill


                  We seen the same thing but much more exaggerated last year in side by sides
                  The lower seeding rate held on about 7-10 days longer in hot and dry conditions. The higher seeding rates topped out at 15 bus / ac and the planter 24 bus / ac under very dry conditions.
                  Although much better this year we are still below 6.5 in here for the most part . Last year was about 3.6 .

                    Now close to 14 days with no more than 1/10
                    Stress is showing

                    Side by side , same variety
                    Left with planter at 2.2 lbs
                    Right with drill at 5.4 lbs

                        Sunnies doing well by our seeding rate trials in canola

                          Same field. The podded canola was seeded May 12. The flowering canola was reseeded June 4. Gophers had about an acre chewed right off. Eliminated as many gophers as we could and then reseeded as an experiment.

                            Furrow at the start of this thread you had a picture of one crop seeded with a Bourgault, the other with a seedmaster. How do those crops look today?

                                Soybean plots




                                Caught an inch of rain and some small hail but look unaffected.

                                Should fill out and have a chance to finish this year with the warm weather the next 2 weeks
