Short YouTube video by Gerri the NVT Guru describing on-farm demonstration trials testing heavy soil amelioration treatments (mouldboard ploughing, ripping, spading, grizzly plough) to manage Rhizoctonia. Farmers placed treated and untreated strips; observed outcomes reported include an approximate yield increase of 0.4 tonnes per hectare on treated strips and about a four-fold reduction in Rhizoctonia inoculum in the soil.

Questions this video answers

Approximately 0.4 tonnes per hectare improvement.

About a four-fold reduction in Rhizoctonia inoculum in the soil.

Chapters

We have demonstration trials and we show the different treatments that we've put in place with the grower group. So applying things like mouldboard plough ripping, spading, all those sort of different heavy duty amelioration that growers are starting to do and then providing data and what it's doing to the Rhizoctonia. So we'll get the farmer to put some strips into the paddock, which has rises. And then we had plus and minus the grizzly plough next to each other. And later in the year we came back and we definitely saw a big improvement in terms of yield response. So we got, I think a 0.4 hectare yield improvement tonne per hectare. We got a reduction in four fold in the Rhizoctonia inoculum in the soil.
